I wonder if the file is carrying erroneous spacing tables from 
somewhere? I mean the font-related ones (can't remember the name), 
not the ones that are loaded in a spacing library.

I've also experienced inexplicable situations where I would use an 
existing file as a template, put in new music and when I ran tight 
spacing on the end result (which was what I had in the source file) 
would end up with relatively wide spacing, with no way to force the 
file to use the same kind of tight spacing as the source file had 
used. Since the spacing is proportionally correct and nicely done, I 
can force more measures per system and end up with something OK (in 
most cases), but I'd much rather have it be automatic.

Of coures, I'm using prehistoric Finale, 2003, so this kind of thing 
may be long gone for other users.
