Dear Jari, In order to explore this discrepancy, I opened Finale 2011 and looked for the problem symbols in the FAN editor. Lo and behold, they appear in slots 213 and 218 in 2011. How is it that they have migrated to different places when viewed in 2012?
I'm sorry, if there is some element of understanding that I am missing. I am doing my best to supply all relevant information. Can you help?
