Hi Don,
This is almost certainly related to inconsistencies between old staff
lists and the new method of organizing expressions. I have seen this
many times (though it appears to be ameliorated somewhat in 2010).
Chances are, you had set a certain expression in the original file to
be assigned to a staff list. The way Finale interprets that now is to
assign it to certain staves in a way that I can't really figure out.
It causes the expression to show up on funny staves where I had never
originally assigned it at all. Violin 1 is often a candidate, as are
percussion staves. The rest I can't make sense of. The easiest way to
deal with it is to remove the offending expression altogether from
the list of expressions in your template file. Tempo expressions are
handled differently now in any case, and it is advantageous to create
new ones.
BTW, I have run into problems (corruption, etc.) using old files as
templates. It is better to save it as a 2009 file, then use THAT as
your default file in the Setup Wizard (copy it into the Component
Files folder). I get much fewer problems with files created using the
Setup Wizard.

Finmac '09
I cleared out a copy of a file to use as a template for further work
on a project and have had trouble eliminating tempo expressions that
were in the original file. I'm generally pretty careful about
copying/not copying things I want/do not want. The expressions seem
to be gone now but I thought that earlier, when working on this file,
when they seemingly popped up again.
I've just recently upgraded to '09 and re-joined this list after being
away for a year or so. I'm assuming this is a bug and that it was
probably discussed at some point. I'd appreciate it if someone could
update me on work-arounds and such.
Thanks much.
