Really appreciate the feedback. What I'm hearing is, suck it up until I'm
finished with this orchestration, then upgrade to Finale 2014.5, especially
because I heard 2012 has problems with .asv files (which would really scare
me, because I average a few crashes a month). Anyone have an experience
with 2014.5 that would contraindicate?
And btw, when I created the new file, they had the same problem with the
'measure number' boxes being unchecked in the 'Items to display' menu under
'staff attributes' for about half the staves. Weird.
Thanks again,
Mike
