You are a genius! I swear that is the simplest and greatest fix I have
ever seen! Thanks.

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.
