Yesterday I installed the Finale 2k7b update, and I think I found as
bug. Not a big one, but very annoying to my ways of working.
Here is what I observed:
Yesterday I had a lengthy session in Finale. Last night I closed and
quit Finale, and I know for absolute certain that I did not save
preferences.
This morning I opened Finale, and it did not revert to my normal
prefs, instead it kept the prefs from when I quit Finale last night.
This included the current tool, the MIDI input device (my normal
input device is none to avoid the error message at start up when it
is missing).
I checked, and the option to save prefs at exit is off.
Has anyone else noticed this? If so I am going to inform MakeMusic.

I can confirm that Finale 2007 (original flavour, a, and b) changes
your settings preferences no matter if you have that option selected
or not.
I suppose you could lock your preferences file in the Finder.
I get the feeling that this was supposed to be a feature enhancement
and that MM didn't want all the settings to change. I don't mind
opening a file with the same staff set that I left it in, but I
agree, intentional changes in Finale behaviour should be documented
and tested to make sure they darn well work.
