Nice idea, but I had already tried the data check and file integrity on the files in both 2009 and 2010. Still have problems.
For my immediate needs, converting to XML and back will work. For some stuff I'm arranging, I like to start from an existing piece and edit it to make a new arrangement. Using XML will be fine. I am leery of converting what you might call 'finished' pieces from older versions via XML.
