Dear Scot,
Is this a case of the older articulations not recognizing the FAN
files for the new font? One thing I'd try: select the offending
articulations and hit the "clear" key. If you are lucky, this may
solve the problem. I have encountered this when replacing
articulations en masse (Jazz Font articulations with some of Bill
Duncan's newly created articulation font glyphs). When the new shape
is substituted in the articulation library for the piece, and it then
appears in the score, its placement conforms to the location of the
original articulation (according to its handles etc.) .
Selecting the new articulations and hitting the clear key resets them
to their own default placement.
Seems worth a try.

Hello list,
I've been working on refining a custom music font for Finale, and
am having a problem with how it pulls in articulations. In an existing
file, if an articulation was entered prior to importing the new font,
these articulations are often setting incorrectly, per the problems
with the old font version. However, if I create a new articulation, it
sets correctly. Anyone aware of an easy way to have these
articulations re-reference a font or to default themselves to the
position they should be.
...hopefully that makes sense to people. Maybe I should clarify.
- File was created with old version of a custom music font.
- Articulations, (like staccato dots), were created.
- New version of custom music font was applied.
- Old articulations still set poorly, new articulations look just
great.
Ideas?
