I thought I'd update the list on my inability to open my 2009 documents in 2010. It is a known problem to MakeMusic that a 'handful' of people have encountered. The best information I've received is that it is a problem with templates. They've asked me how far back in versions was the original template made (not sure - maybe 2003, maybe 3.7) and if I had converted the template from old versions to new versions (yes, of course). The problem has been passed to the research people, then the quality assurance people, and now I'm told that it is back with research. They can't tell me at this point if a maintenance upgrade will have the problem fixed or not. In the meanwhile, I'm trying my hand with Sibelius 6 (after using Finale exclusively since version 3.7) and after only a few days with it, I'm not seeing any compelling reason not to stick with it, but it is early days.
