Hi Hal,
I noticed that the eps preview is bad but I care about the printout
on laser printer, which is wrong. Have you tried exporting the little
file with dashed slurs in eps, place it in a DTP software and print
it? I started this project in 2006 because I thought like you that
everything should be fine. It isn't unfortunately. It would be great
if you could do the test-print with the mentioned eps to confirm (or
not) that the faulty eps behavior is reproducible.
Thanks,
Éric

Dear Eric,
EPS works fine in Finale 2006 except that the screen view is PICT
and looks terrible. The printout looks fine. In Finale 2003 and
earlier the screen version of an EPS was bitmap, and it looked just
like the screen version in Finale. Why they changed this, I don't
know. But the EPS data should print on a laser printer just fine no
matter how the screen version looks. I would bet that our files
would look fine printed even though they look so bad on the screen.

Of course it works in a pdf created with Finale 2006, but we are
talking about eps, which is what I need. The publisher I work for
use a workflow that would be impossible to recreate with a pdf
file and we, as most publishing houses I guess, need eps to have
more flexibility with DTP softwares. That is precisely why we
still use Finale 2003 as a primary engraving tools, although I
greatly miss all the enhancements made since then.
Thanks anyway Harold,

Eric,
I made a little file with dashed slurs in FinMac2k6 and printed
it to PDF (using Perview). The Preview file looks exactly like
the Finale file. You can adjust the length of dashes and spaces,
but I used the default and it looks fine in both the original and
the PDF. I'm on a G4 System 10.3.8.
