Did anybody switch back because of a broken tuplet tool?

Dear Thomas,
I had similar problems because I was using TempoTime font for the tuplet number, and the Font Annotation (FAN) file for that font is adjusted differently. Since I didn't want to fuss with changing that (maybe it's easy, but it's unfamiliar to me, so I don't know), I just changed the tuplet font to Times Bold, which has an annotation file that "Engraver Tuplets - Avoid Staff" understands, and the problem disappeared.
Try that, and if it works, please let me know. I hope this helps you, as I know what an annoyance this problem can be. It took a long time for me to find the Finale/Mac tech support person who would even acknowledge that the problem was there (Carla - she's good).

No, I didn't - just got the new chapter 20 from Steve.
After playing a bit around I have to say though that the Avoid Staves feature is broken -- there is no way in getting the same result for high and low notes in regards too placement of the tuplet number - try entering 3 quarter note tuplets (let's say A above staff) with bracket above (my publishers wants it above) - when Avoid Staves is checked a vertical number of about 32 for Tuplet or so looks good to me (Shape vertical number is set to 0) - now transpose these notes down 2 octaves and watch where the tuplet number ends up - no matter what you do, you always have to move the shape up to center around the number - the lower the note the more you have to move up the shape...
seems bad to me. If anybody got that working I would be happy to know about how.
Thanks,

it says Enhanced Tuplets - is it just a different naming procedure, or
are there new options that the PDF files don't reflect yet?
It was renamed (in Fin2005a) from Enhanced Tuplets to Engraver Tuplets.
Thomas:
When you updated Finale to the maintenance release, did you download the User Manual updater as well?
