I simply can't believe that after all these years there's no way in Finale to space correctly melismas over short values. When you have a syllable over 4 16ths, for instance, you DON'T want the first 16th to have twice the space of the 3 following ones. But this is still what happens in Finale 2008. And since I can't get TGTools' New spacing to work, I'm stuck, and have to go back to 2007... after less than 24 hours with 2008.

Has anyone else had any luck with this? Or is there another way I've been overlooking for years?

I don't seem to be getting the results you are getting, which makes me think that there is something wrong with the installation. Did you copy your FAN files over, because nothing will space properly without them, especially custom fonts?

Did you run "update smart word extensions and hyphens" from the Utilities menu, then update layout? Sometimes I notice 2008 is not automatically updating these things, even if I have it turned on, especially when I have an old file open.

I didn't try the TGTools item you mentioned, but definitely talk to Tobias about it. He will know if there is a problem, and he is incredibly quick to fix things once he knows about them.
