Oh! Sorry you are having this difficulty.

Chuck, that's not the issue here, however -- I mean, opening old
files with new versions. The problem is in the Finale 2003 file
itself, because I opened it with Finale 2003 and got into the same
weird stuff.

Dear Harold,
This kind of thing has happened to me when I've opened old files in
newer versions of Finale. It's not that unusual. The full version
of TGTools has things I wouldn't want to be without. I always use
Modify/Transfer to move the layout of one part to another in
similarly laid out linked parts (just for one example).

I agree with you. I copied the music and pasted into a new file.
I found out the other two 2003 files in the same folder as this
one, have the same problem!!! And some other weird stuff
happened. I couldn't delete a couple of notes entered accidentaly
in speedy entry. The notes appeared only when leaving the measure
being edited. When I clicked the measure (speedy entry) to delete
them, they disappeared. They didn't show in any of the four
layers. And since I could't delete the notes, I tried to clear the
measure. The notes remained, even though everything else vanished.
Then I tried deleting the measure. No use... Really strange. I
will not use ths file, but I might get TGTools just to see it
fixed anyway.
Thank you.

Hi Harold,
I downloaded the file you posted and there is definitely
something screwy about it.
You can fix the problem with the FULL version of TGTools (which
includes the Staff List Manager) -- i.e., not the TGTools Lite
that comes with Finale -- but it might be best to copy the music
into a new file, because this one seems like it's become corrupted.
Cheers,
- Darcy

The file has never been optimized because it is a single
instrument, one-staff part. But yes, I did removed it anyway.
Thanks. Harold.

Did you try REMOVING optimization? That's what it sounds like

Thanks for answering. I did that. Doesn't help. This is what
is happening:
I have a single staff part written in FinMac 2003. The
instrument is the double bass.
I open it, in page view, whether with Finale 2003 or 2008,
doesn't matter, and I see the bass staff with all the music.
Still in page view, I add a new staff.
The new staff does not show (still in page view). Only the
original bass staff shows, as if I had not added a new staff.
I switch to scroll view and I can see both staves now. The
bass and the newly created one.
Swith back to page view - I see only the bass staff.
Back to scroll view, I delete the bass staff - now I see only
the new staff in scroll view. The bass staff is gone, as
expected.
Back to Page view - I see a blank page!
The file is here if anyone wants to check:
http://hmauro.com/finale
It's the only file in the directory. Try adding a new staff to
it.
Thank you.

Sorry that I haven't read the whole thread, so this may be
way off base, but my first thought was to Optimize. That
sometimes fixes a multitude of previous changes.

There is one system per page, but no music!!!
Check the margins for one of the systems. Maybe one of the
margin
settings got set to something so large (or small) that the
music is
actually there, just displaying somewhere completely off
the page.

I reset the system margins and now I have several systems
per page, which shouldn't be, since there are six staves per
system. Still no music, just the dotted lines and small
boxes. Here are the measurements for all systems, exept the
top margin of system one, in inches:
Top: 0,37153; left: 0,04861; right: 0,04861; bottom: 0,78125
Distance between systems: 0.3
Thank you.
