There was a long-standing bug involving the .aiff file ACTUALLY HAVING a .mus extension. So I would try to create an audio file with the same filename (but an .aiff extension) and what ended up happening was it overwrote the .mus file. At that point, I had a possibility of disaster. If I closed the .mus file, then I would have a file that LOOKED like a Finale file, but would not open (because despite the extension, it was an .aiff file) and my Finale file would be gone. If I saved and closed, then the .mus file would overwrite my new audio file (because it had the same name!) and I would have no audio file. The way I finally caught this was when I noticed that my .mus file was suddenly about 8 megs in size, instead of a couple hundred K.
I have no idea under which circumstances this would occur, yet not occur other times. The short filename suggestion was because they claimed to have fixed the old-fashioned file naming system they used, but actually KEPT USING IT for internal Finale operations (like audio file generation) for another couple versions. Perhaps they still haven’t fixed it. I honestly don’t know. Christopher > On Feb 10, 2016, at 6:00 AM, Robert Patterson <[email protected]> > wrote: > > Thanks, Christopher.
