What happens to me when I open a score created in an earlier version of Finale

that they encompass MORE staves than just the piano staff. I don't know WHY it

Hi Don,

He has a trick with adding hard spaces to the chord symbol that hadn't occurred
to me, but basically he's suggesting combinations of rests of various sizes, as
you discovered.
Yes, there are very good reasons not to include chords in spacing!
If you put a chord symbol over, say, an eighth note, it opens up a giant amount
of space in front of the next note. It doesn't seem to know that there isn't a
chord on the next note.
Also, putting a check on Chords in Music Spac
When Finale sees a slash, it removes ALL the part name from the PDF, so when
you expect "Title Flute/Picc.mus.pdf" you only get "Title.mus.pdf". Since the

part. If you have more than one part with a slash in the name,
