Richard, if Sibelius can save older formats - maybe Finale also can, soon? I mean, it's a feature fight anyway, so let's hope Finale does it as well. I don't mind if you can't save things you could not do in earlier versions, I mean, that's logical. I'm happy to say: Well, do your best and try

Although Finale 3.0 was a big change from previous versions, it was not developed from scratch. As far as I know, Finale has never been redeveloped from scratch. I've only known Finale since version 2.6, so I can't say for sure, but I think some parts of present-day Finale are unchanged

Hi Kurt, When you talk about compatibility across programs, this is an area where Finale is ahead of Sibelius, not vice versa. Finale 2008 saves MusicXML files that can be read by 50 other programs, including the 2007 versions of SongWriter, PrintMusic, Allegro, and Finale, along with Sibelius 4

Michael, thanks for the info. I have never used XML. Can you tell me how good this solution is? Say, I want to export a choir and bigband score including lyrics, chords, articulations, sounds, repetitions like d. s. al coda, repetitions with 2nd endings, (linked parts (?))... What will I get? Or

The only time I ever had a bad address error is when I had a bad RAM chip. MemTest is a shareware app that does a great job of detecting bad RAM. I highly recommend it. Barring that, am I right in thinking that you have 2 X 2 GB chips? Try removing one and see if it crashes. Then try the
