I had one more question about this and remembered this exchange from a month ago.
Which version of the Duncan fonts are folks using successfully - the original, or the updated ones that all have “FP” at the beginning of the name that came with the bundled Finale Productivity Suite sold by NPC Imaging after Bill’s death? I think that package was called Finale Productivity 5.1 (or 5.01?) as opposed to 5.0. I’m using Finale 2014 (unhappily, I might add, especially considering the “focus” issue when switching back and forth from Digital Performer and having to click in the menu bar *every time* to get the arrow keys to work in Speedy) on a Mac Pro on Mountain Lion and am finally ready to make the jump to Mavericks as all my other software seems to be supported. The other important issue for me is making sure to have the corresponding FAN files, as I still sometimes run into the problem of misplaced ties and articulations in rhythmic notation. If anyone who has this working well responds, perhaps it would be helpful if you included the creation date of the Duncan fonts and FAN files you’re using as well.
