Darcy,
I tried that, but it didn't work. I think there is some internal
measure that is messed up (there are a few things we can't tweak).
The weirdest thing about this bug is that older files open perfectly
in 2008, but new ones don't.

Hi Chris,
What I was suggesting was that you could artificially move the
right boundary on the eighth rest character (and other flagged rest
characters) "too far" to the left -- so that it falls in the middle
of the rest, or even all the way to the left. This should
theoretically affect the position of the dots. I'm in the middle of
something else and can't try it now, but it's worth a shot.

Darcy,
I've tried it, but everything seems to be OK and nothing I do
really does anything. I am assuming the 8th rest character is #228
and the dot is #46 (that's what is selected in the Doc
Options>Augmentation Dots), and both have nice tight boundaries to
the edges of the glyphs. The problem appears on all flagged rests
(sixteenths, etc.)
Furthermore, when I open files created in EARLIER versions of
Finale (before 2007) the dots are correct. Only in new files do
the dots show up too far away.
There does not appear to be a setting to adjust the distance for
augmentation dots on RESTS, only on notes. I assume that this
setting applies to both, but is obviously too large for flagged
rests.
If you could give this a quick try and report back, maybe you will
have more luck than I have.

Hi Chris,
I haven't tried it, but I'm almost positive that you could fix
this by adjusting the FAN for the eighth rest character in Jazz
Font.

'd actually be happy if dotted eighth rests just worked
properly. In the JazzFont the dots on flagged rests are too far
to the right of the rest and have to be individually, manually
adjusted. Grr.
