And this feature works for me. It seems pretty convenient. However: I have had a font problem in the switch to Lion, but I think it is not likely to be applicable to others. When I first started using Bill Duncan fonts, I installed two fonts called B Times Bold and BI Times BoldItalic (probably just Bill's versions of Times Bold). I use them in all my Finale Files. Later, Bill updated the fonts, and the newer ones are called BTimesBold and BTimesBoldItalic (no spaces). Older documents have some of each version (I know - sloppy, on my part). In earlier versions of OS X, Finale would find the older version of the font and (usually) replace it with the newer, correctly displaying one. In Lion, Finale can no longer find the older font, so I have to edit each expression or text block and replace the wrong font with the correct one. (The Finale font list shows the older font as being missing, even though I have made sure that the old version is in my font library). OK, that's tedious, but, if I use the Data Check font utility to try to replace things in the file globally, font hell breaks loose. My sense of this that Finale cannot find the offending font (the one that Finale's font list shows as "missing") and it therefor scrambles and misplaces all kinds of font information/locations. This is from a non-programmer's mind - it's just my impression, and I may be far off base. In any case, if anyone has a way to understand this and fix it, I could use some help. Otherwise, every time I open a file in Lion, I will have to update a bunch of expressions and some text blocks.
