I'm not that much of a smarty-pants, sorry to say. (wink, wink) I have no clue why the results would be so vastly different. I assume you rebooted the computer, or at least restarted Finale, and the problem continued? In that case I might try extracting all the parts and then opening each part individually in Finale and saving it as a wave file. Perhaps that might avoid the problem. If it doesn't then I'd look to some expression or other marking that you edited from a different expression which had playback assigned that you forgot to remove. If you export the complete file with all parts as a wave file, does the problem show itself? But none of that would explain why since that time your audio has been off. Perhaps the Mixer window needs to be looked at, or the settings in the Instrument window? Why did the music director want to go to all that extra work re-combining the individual wave files when you, one would assume, had all the balance issues worked out in the Finale file itself. I'm sorry I don't have better answers to help you out.
