I upgraded to 2005b - even though they mention improved number
positioning in regards to the shape -- my easy problem from before is
still there - which basically means there is not a good default setting
one can use, because the tuplet number will be off-center vertically
when dealing with lower notes.

My tuplet number was set to Times - no weird font here and still it
behaves as pointed out earlier - John Blane mentioned that this might
have happened in the 2005 maintenance release - which sounds right,
since I hadn't upgraded before and got different results when I
compared files on-screen with a guy who had upgraded (our tuplets
behaved differently in identical files).
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,

My tuplet settings say: Engraver Tuplet -- whereas in the
documentation
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?
