Every group of humans larger than one is a political body. Orchestras

You need to re-create the multimeasure rest, at least on that region.

Actually, it's nothing to do with Mac vs. Windows. The problem is
that Chuck doesn't use the default Finale fonts (which are the same

Do you think that Bill's fonts are somehow causing this wandering

If that is the case, then my irritation with MM is misplaced. Of
course, it would be nice, for those of us who love the look of these
things, if Finale would accommodate them properly.

There is no difference between Fin06 and Fin07 with regards to staff
optimization. After optimization you can manually change the group name
without changing oter systems. This has been true since the first
version of Finale that had group names. (Perhaps since Fin97 or earlier.)

If you are talking about extracted parts in separate files (rather that
Fin07 linked parts), you should experiment with my Page Title Mover plugin.
