Hi all, I have an issue that's a little tricky to explain.
This weekend I had to go back to a flute/piano score and make a fix where Finale had twice placed incorrect block rests in the flute part: there were two block rests (17+2) ignoring 11 measures of notes at the start of the first movement and two block rests (26+8) ignoring 24 measures of notes at the start of the third movement. The score was done in Finale 25.4.1.152 (Windows 10) on 10/31/17. I opened the file in Finale 25.5.0.290 to find there was no flute part present at all in the parts menu, nor were any parts present in the "manage parts" dialog. The only thing in the "manage parts" dialog was the title of the piece. However, my properly formatted flute and piano parts *could* be accessed using [ctl+alt+.] The program had kept the parts but erased their usual access modes. Since I didn't trust the program to save things properly, I created new parts (which destroyed the layout, the separator pages between the movements, and the title page). Now re-opening the file properly shows all the parts. I'm wondering what might have caused the assignment of a block rests in place of notes, and if it might be related to losing the presence of parts. I keep numbered backups. #308 was where the parts were first created, and #321 was the last. 308-321 were done on the same day without closing the program, so if it was some sort of bug, it carried through to when I re-opened and saved the file as #322 this weekend. Has anyone come across something like this?
