First off, thanks everyone on the score order stuff. Please still let me know if you think the order I decided on [chorus/harp/piano/timp/perc/strings] is nuts... I may have second, third, fourth thoughts on this...
But, on to the meat of the problem.
I have these old (Finale 3.0.1!) files that need importing into the Finale 2002 score template I've set up. I'm then going to re-extract the parts -- this seems like the most logical route. For some of the movements of this piece I have the score (in Fin 3.0.1 format) and for some of them I just have the parts. In any case, what is the best way to get these copied into the new Fin2002 score I just set up? Simply copying and pasting doesn't handle the score expressions or smart shapes (or much of anything, except the notes, articulations and lyrics).
Also, the score order is different in the new score so I have to copy one section at a time. I suppose I could save a copy of the Fin 3.0.1 score and re-arrange the staves to match my new layout -- that might help. But any suggestions on how to make this easier would be greatly appreciated.
Regards,
