As will be clear, I've only had Fin2012 for a couple of days and am therefore very much a beginner. Having moved up directly from 2006 there are some huge differences. I must admit that most of the differences I've found so far have been vast improvements and I am very impressed. (Although there are a couple things I don't really understand - I don't understand why "retranscribe" should be under "midi/audio" - maybe other people use it differently from the way I do.)
I solved my initial problem by changing the percussion notehead font in "Independent Elements" in the Staff attributes box, but until I can find something in the documentation about this, and I haven't yet, I'm having to change this for every percussion instrument in every document which is a bit of a bind. No doubt there'll be a solution somewhere and one day I'll be able to change the default. As for this "Maestro Percussion" font - I've been a working musician for nearly forty years and I've never seen it before. I don't understand why it should be set as the default. I'm not a percussionist but I am a conductor so I've had plenty of opportunity to see it if, like the Loch Ness Monster, it really exists.
