Does anyone have Finale97 so they can see if it did it right? I have files that were last spaced in WinFin97 and the spacing is acceptable (if not entirely correct -- some of the problems are things that were changed in the spacing algorithms later on, like how much space at the beginnings and ends of measures). Well, just looking at one of these correctly-spaced measures (from Finale97), I see that the beat chart does *not* include the hidden notes, so WinFin97 seems to have done it correctly. It's pretty clearly a bug as it happens in WinFin2K3. Now, can we get a rundown of which versions exhibit the problem? It looks like it's still there in Finale2K4, if Johannes is seeing it. I think somebody had Finale2K2 and said the problem was there? Can anyone confirm this? Is it better for each of us to report the bug for each version? -- David W.
