True, if all we expected of FINALE was purely notation; no conversions, no

How about Finale Rap
The default template will automatically ressurect some random worn out groove
from the 80's. The Rap Generator plug-in will start with the fundamental
Square Dance Caller lead line, replacing evry fourth word with the obligatory

I personally do not think that your posts have cluttered the list; the topics
intrigue me as I have not encountered the serious problem you have described.
I am on Finale 2006 at least 1 to 2 hrs a day and have been almost every day
since I upgraded last summer (late August or maybe
First, let me say that I too get very frustrated with the bugs in each new
version, and I would encourage MM to be more diligent in vetting such problems
before that release the product. However, there should be a bit of slack
allowed.

Javier,
I agree; this is more than a mere bug, and you should get your money back and
more if Finale caused you to lose intellectual property. We have protections
here in the US as well, it just requires going through the legal system.
Pardon me if this has already been asked but what
Yes, that is absolutely correct. The technicians are not conjurers or
magicians. If they cannot reproduce it, how can they correct the problem?
Again, this is just to give perspective, not to argue whether someone's claim
is valid or not. If a bug in Finale actually lost work, that's

Okay, I think that I must be having brain-fade here.
I have extracted a part from a score with multi-measure rests. All except one
have compressed and I cannot figure out 1) Why and 2) How to make it compress.
Other extracted parts compressed the same measures fine.
I have done the following
Thank you. The XML files ported over well. Not perfect, but reasonably well.

I still need to do more writing in it to see if it's worth the bother to change.

As I am committing myself to learn this product, is it worth upgrading to the
current version, or should I stay on 2003a and wait for the next version ?
