This probably won't work if you have Tuplets or Repeats in the document.

This would definitely be a great situation to have *BACKWARD COMPATIBILITY OF FILES*! (for all you MakeMusic lurkers out there). Brian Here is a technique by which you can convert FinWin2005 files into 2004 ones: 1. Save the 2005 file as ETF. 2. In Finale 2004 save a 'New document without libraries' as ETF. 3. Open the 2004 file in Notepad and copy the first 30 lines. 4. Open the 2005 file in Notepad and replace the first 30 lines with the copied ones. 5. Save the 2005 file. 6. Open it in Finale 2004. I just did this with a file that has many articulations and expressions. All appear on first perusal to be perfect. Trying this from 2004 to 2003 was problematic as layers were shifted up one number and so layer four was lost. 2005 to 2004 does not seem to have that problem.

Thanks, Christopher, for the help. Personally, I much prefer to use 2005, but the @#$%*! composer I'm working for hasn't upgraded yet and needs the project in 2004 format. This would definitely be a great situation to have *BACKWARD COMPATIBILITY OF FILES*!
