I have Finale 2008, Windows XP, & have a problem with uneven staff

2nd space "A."
Does anyone know what could be causing this? I haven't
intentionally changed staff line thickness or fonts.
Sigh. Sounds like file corruption again. Sigh.
On a copy of the file (so you don't mess something up irreparably) I
can suggest these steps.
You say deleting the system doesn't work. But it may be that the
corruption actually started somewhere in the PREVIOUS system. With
this in mind, try deleting different measures in the previous system
to see if any of them solves the problem. You would have to delete
the entire measure stack (to use the new term!) You can always insert
a new measure afterward.
If that doesn't work, try deleting ALL the measures starting in the
previous system right to the end of the work. Then add new measures
back in. If this solves it, then you may be able to copy the contents
back in from your original copy of the file. Cross your fingers that
you won't be copying the corruption along with it.
If this doesn't work, then the only solution might be to create a
fresh document and copy your contents into it and keep working from
there. You may miss some things, like system breaks and double bars
that break mulit-measure rests, but it is better than starting from
scratch.
And REALLY send this on to MakeMusic tech support, so that they see
it. Maybe they will have a solution as well that doesn't involve
massive amounts of deletions.
