Are you missing the original expression font on your current system? I would assume you see a default placeholder font in the window. Does it help selecting all in the edit window and then choose another font? Klaus --- On Thu, 2/14/13, SN jef chippewa shirl...@newmusicnotation.com wrote: From:

What I thought it was you would have seen in 2010 after making the jump from 2008 but it sounds like everything was fine in 2010 then things broke in 2012. The issue I was thinking about has to do with custom staff lists pre-new expression model. Going from the already broken model in 2008

Duh! I should have said. It's finale mac 2012. All my other finale files play, but many of those were created in Fin mac 2010. I imported them into 2012 and they play just fine. Only this new one that I created from the template will not play. I finally did get it to play--sort of. But
