Re: [Finale] 2k8 file conversion from 2K7

I think I get it now. The Bill Duncan fonts - for which I hadn't thought to install the FAN files into 2k8, push other objects out of the way when the FAN files are absent, so it looks as if normal objects are also messed up when, in fact, only the non-Finale fonts are the culprits. So

Hi Chuck, You must remember to always copy your FAN files for any custom fonts you use to your Fin2008 FAN folder. Hold down option when dragging to make a copy instead of moving (so that your old FAN files will remain in place.) Also, don't overwrite any of the MM-supplied FAN files

Aha, Darcy was right. (Why am I not surprised?) I copied in FAN files for the Bill Duncan fonts, and everything fell into place. What had confused me was the fact that there were normal Maestro expressions that were also displaced. They are now appearing correctly (along with the BD

Hi Darcy, This affects Maestro expressions too, so I don't know - but I'll do what you suggest, because it makes perfect sense for the BD fonts. BTW, I'll be in NY from the 22nd to the 28th - playing at Kitano on the 25th - with Don Friedman and Joe Hunt, and then recording with them in
