After I ran the Mac 2007a updater, I ended up with one app called
Finale 2007, which on closer inspection was indeed the updated
version. I was happy to have kept a backup copy of the original 2007
version: I renamed the updated version "Finale 2007a" and copied the
backup copy of 2007 back into the Finale folder. When I ran the 2007b
updater it replaced the version called Finale 2007 with the newer
version, leaving untouched the one I had renamed as 2007a.
Now I have all three versions of Finale 2007. I am careful to keep
these different versions because a newer version may introduce a
newer bug. In the case of Finale 2007a, MakeMusic tried to correct a
hyphen bug (hyphens not disappearing when syllables are close
together) and in fact made matters worse, even introducing a new
hyphen bug. 2007b hasn't made any change in this respect. Hyphens are
a disaster in 2007a and 2007b, and in 2007 they're just about usable.
To get correct hyphen placement suitable for a serious publisher, you
need to go back to 2006a or earlier.

Hey Allen,
Really? Hmm. That's very mysterious. Was there any change to the
installer behavior after the initial release of Finale 2007a? I
grabbed Fin2007a as soon as it was available, and I definitely
ended up with two separate apps after running the installer, one
called "Finale 2007" and one called "Finale 2007a."
What happened when everyone else ran the Finale 2007a updater? Did
you end up with separate "Finale 2007" and "Finale 2007a" apps, or
just a single, updated app named "Finale 2007."
Cheers,
