Well, I just tried this, and I'm getting precisely the same error as I was getting with the SAVE LIBRARY -- one particular definition is losing it's flipped shape. But here's an added wrinkle: I used 5 staves to copy a whole lot of stuff, and the notes in one of the staves simply aren't copying. So, I tried putting all the articulations for that measure on the first note of the measure (which was successfully copying). This didn't work, either. Apparently something in my source file is corrupt and it won't let me save things out of that file. But DATA CHECK | CHECK INTEGRITY doesn't find anything wrong. It makes me crazy to have all these problems. Libraries won't save completely. Copy won't copy all the notes. I don't know if it's because the files are from old versions of Finale or not. But I don't see why I should think that's a problem -- it's clearly a badly broken subsection of Finale. -- David W.
