Andrew et al,
Shouldn't it be possible to remove your Maestro Font Default file
from your Finale folder before updating (not that I remembered to do
this!) and then replace it after the update?
Is there something I'm missing here. It did not occur to me to do
this, so I spent hours reconfiguring mine, but it seems so easy in
retrospect.

I just spent hours doing just that, and I fail to see how any
new features would be lost if the installation algorithm were to
copy, say, my shortened stem length from 2K4 to 2K7a. Or my choices
of fonts for various items. Or any of several dozen other settings.
The installation does, after all, read the user's midi setup and
copy it to the new program despite great changes in the midi setup
procedure. If it can do that, it can do those other things.
And, oh yes, would it be so hard to have my preferences
automatically copied too?
I lost an entire day of productivity reproducing all this stuff in
2K7a, and I'm *still* not finished. :-(
----------------------------
And on a related topic: is there any way to globally set the
*length* of tie stubs? The only settings I know are for height and
inset percentage.
