Thanks Robert, That was the method I used to change the tuplet settings. I noticed that reset button but thought it would just zero-out the dialog settings. That will help.
It's time for me to upgrade to or buy your latest plugins--will check that out. Were smart shapes introduced in v.2? The slurs in this score didn't attach to notes--early behavior. Though I can't remember all the reasons why, I have a fondness for 2.6.3. I think a large part of it was stability. I distinctly remember losing a day's work after Finale crashed, even though I had been meticulously saving my work all day long. I believe 2.6.3 fixed that behavior, but my habit of saving alternately to two external disks lingered on for a while.
