Funny, I just did this with my Default file. Here is what I did.
I loaded Finale on two computers, On one I had my old default file loaded, and the other the new default (2007's installed file) loaded. I then went through and changed the articulations, slurs, and some other things I saw that looked better. I didn't have to touch the chords. It was that much.

I'd like to ask what you do with the default file when version switches. I have so many custom lib, articulation, chords (I hate how Finale spells chord - Very difficult to site-read), page format, just about everything. Since my daily use of Finale is for my own composition, this really matters to me. I also want to have my students consistent with my format. I have been using the same default file I created years ago but last year I learned from this list that it is a bad idea, which makes sense since Fin file format changes drastically over version upgrade. Moving to 2007, I am trying to modify Maestro default file but it hasn't been easy. There must be a better way: For both articulation and chord, I must create a bogus object so I can click to open the dialog. From there, I must delete all the entries then load the lib files. For chords, on top of this, inconsistently MIDI learned chords get messed up and I won't see it until I hit the chord and saw wrong chord symbol was attached. To do page format on > p2, I have to create 2nd page on the Maestro file then delete it after I finish formatting. Is there any other way? And I wish if File Info data sticks in the default file so new file inherit them.
