Use MusicXML !!! I haven't experienced losing items, but I had all sorts of HP problems with an old template I had to use on a project. I exported to MusicXML and re-imported into Finale 2014. (Actually I think I did both export and import on 2014) That solved the problems. Obviously there

It happens with 2012 also, part of it appears to be a Windows 8 issue, I do not see the same sub directories with saving and opening files. Have wasted so much time trying to get IPA syllables in a Warm-up and after I kinda get it right, the file either won't open or disappears. On Wed, Feb 18,

document options i would think gets it all. if upgrading then also programme options. libraries: - stem connections - articulations - text expressions - ... depending on how much of an overhaul you are doing. i did this between 2012 and 2014, started with a new doc no libraries. was a big

I was dreading that that might be the solution.. I was hoping that Finale might store them in a text file somewhere… Are there any gotchas? I need libraries, document settings, details of any page items.. anything else? Thanks! Steve P. On 18 Feb 2015, at 22:36, SN jef chippewa

Don't document options save to libraries? I get my line parameters and defined expressions, when I load my customized library to scratch documents. One aspect not loaded to library is line thickness of smart shape lines. Klaus Sendt fra min iPad Den 18/02/2015 kl. 22.44 skrev Steve Parker

I’m also worried that whatever is causing the disappearance of items is going to get transferred by importing my libraries. Steve P. On 18 Feb 2015, at 22:01, Klaus Smedegaard Bjerre yorkmaster...@gmail.com wrote: Don't document options save to libraries? I get my line parameters and

Personally I am skeptical that the upgraded templates are the source of your problem. It's possible, I suppose, but I would want more than the word of a tech support person to believe it. When you say things are disappearing, what does that mean? On Wed, Feb 18, 2015 at 4:08 PM, Steve Parker

Two things. Firstly, the name of the score in score manager doesn't survive closing the file. Secondly, text boxes with inserts disappear when the file is closed and re-opened. I couldn't get further with tech support. These things didn't happen with new files created from the wizard and

I would recommend opening the templates in their original version and running data check on them. Then open them in Fin14 and run data check on them again. Save the result as a Fin14 template and see if you continue to have the problem. On Wed, Feb 18, 2015 at 4:41 PM, Steve Parker
