Sounds like your problem was just Finale crashing. It happens, though
a lot less than it did under System 9! When I switched to OSX I
estimate my crashes went down to 5 to 10% of what they were in System
9. That's 10 to 20 TIMES less often!
Most of the problems I have with Finale fall into two categories:
1) Reproducible bugs, or at least consistent behaviour that I might
not like (I know that's not the same as a bug!)
2) things I've never seen before, and never see again, usually
curable by quitting and restarting Finale, or possibly logging out
and then back in again, or as a last resort, rebooting the computer.
The much talked-about overwrite bug that seemed to get me so often
was usually accompanied by odd behaviour just before it hit, like
Metatool keys not working, or other keyboard commands having no
effect while the menu items worked fine. I haven't seen it at all in
2006, which makes it about a year since I last saw it.

Here's a weird thing..... I have had this problem as follows.....
I put the mac to sleep with Finale, Safari and Mail open......and
often when I wake it up Finale quits. Of course I now make sure I
save before putting it to sleep.
So it just happened again and guess what.....I open the file I was
working on and the Staff Lists are now working fine.
Go figure.
