[Finale] OT: tuplet numbers gone missing in PDF
This has happened to me, in FinMac 2005. I didn't use 2006, and haven't done a project yet in 2007. The culprit turned out to be smart tuplets, which caused tuplet numbers and brackets on occasion to disappear at random when exporting for printing (pdf or eps). Whenever this has happened to me, I would convert the offending tuplets to not "smart" and they suddenly show up. Then I would carefully proof that page to make sure some other tuplet didn't disappear. At least, with pdf or eps, once you've got it right, it stays that way exactly.

Possibly unrelated, but years ago on an older computer I used to have memory problems in communicating with my printer. One symptom I experienced was that jobs for a certain client tended to drop the tuplet numbers. The reason was font-related. He liked the tuplet numbers in bold italic, and it was the only thing in the piece that was both bold and italic. Evidently that font was the last to load and when the data to the printer was too much that font somehow got dropped. I still don't understand the details, but I got in the habit of printing the tuplet numbers in normal italic for my own draft and then switching to bold italic right before sending the PDF. Probably has nothing to do with your problem, but if it so happens that your tuplet numbers are in a font that nothing else in the piece is in, you might suspect a font problem of some sort. mdl ___ Finale mailing list Finale@shsu.edu http://lists.shsu.edu/mailman/listinfo/finale
