Now whoever designed this should be sacked imo:
I just found out that if you open an existing 2k7 document in 2k9, there
is a huge inconsistency with the positioning options for expressions.
I have a large library of dynamics, all with carefully fine tuned
positioning options for both note and measure positioning (ie note and
staff expression options). Obviously when this is imported into 2k9 only
one of these two will be retained. The obvious would be to keep the note
positioning options, since the measure positioning really only makes
sense when using them as staff expressions, which don't really exist
anyway. Another way would be to import them twice. And a third, not so
nice way of importing them would be to keep the measure positioning.
Well, Finale 2k9 does none of the above. Instead it imports them with
their measure positioning, except for those which are actually being
used in the file.
So when I import a file I end up with note positioning f, p etc, but
measure positioning fff or mfp. When I import another file, I will end
up with another combination.
As for my default file, I see no easy way to retain the note positioning
at all. I guess I have to redo that completely.
What a mess.
Does anyone know how I can import my default file without losing my note
positioning dynamics?
