Ah, but it did, and I haven't the slightest idea why. But selecting all the systems with the Page Layout Tool and selecting delete page breaks from the menu solved the problem, both in the exported/ imported file and in the original version. Probably a case of hitting the wrong key at the

[Finale] Layout misbehavior

Ok, I haven't run across this one before: I have a long piece with 8 staves per system and, until today, two systems fit well on one page. Now, suddenly, the systems are arranged in Page View as follows: 1 | 2 | 3 | 4 | etc. 2 | 3 | 4 | 5 | that is, each system appears _twice, once at the
