I have a question here : I am using a default music font that I made myself
and am using it with some publishers I work with. For compatibility purpose,
when I edit my font, I rename it to avoid version problems when printed (I
am not printing them). It is very easy anyway to rename a font. The problem
is that I always have to make a new font annotation from scratch. It's not
hard but time consuming.
Is there a way to start the font annotation of a new font from an existing
one? This would be so much faster. If not I will certainly send a request to
MakeMusic to make it through, hopefully, Finale 2005.

If you have a binary file editor and know how to use it, it's easy:
1. Make a copy of the file you want to use as a template
2. Using the copy, open it with a binary file editor to make a change at
position 522 (0-based) in the file. That's where the font's name is stored
that the FAN file maps to. End the font name text with a 0.

And if I don't know how to use it, is there something to do?

If you're on Mac, you can use the "Text Editor" plugin to do this.
