Hi Dennis, But, for new files, what happens if you use Check All Graphics... to link the file instead of embed it? Doesn't the embedded graphic go away?
As with expressions, Finale graphics have separate data structures for the graphics itself and the assignment of the graphics to a particular place in the music. When you delete the graphic, it appears that you are deleting the assignment, but leaving the embedded graphic data orphaned. What I am suggesting is that instead of deleting the graphic and placing it again, you instead use Check All Graphics... to unlink the embedded file. Does that work for you for new scores? I understand that it wouldn't help with old scores with orphaned embedded graphics.
