it seems creating a new folder/location for the auto-save and rebooting has solved the problem. perhaps i burned one of finale's braincells when i moved the file out of the original folder. shouldn't happen like that though, but this past week has been an effen series of "that shouldn't have happened" chuck and jim, i would suggest trying this, the file is there even after auto-save has completed. - in finder, create a new backups folder (name it however you want) - save and close all finale docs - open finale prefs and set the destination folder for auto-save to your new folder - click "apply" just for fun, although this shouldn't be necessary - close and reboot finale, open a doc that has been saved (i.e. not a new default file) - open a finder window with your new folder and wait for the asv to appear - rejoice and have a drink on me > If you open a window to the autosave folder, you can see it get created > after the prescribed amount of time.
