I use WinFin2003, and just had a disaster with uploading a PDF produced after some minor edits on a file. I did nothing but alter some of the note values in some measures (altering quite a few dotted whole notes to be whole notes plus half rest). I didn't think about it, and just reprinted the

I have a vague memory of Speedy octave errors at the beginning of measures. I think I found that hitting keypad '0' twice (to exit and reenter Speedy) minimized the hassle. I recall no other details, however. I believe that there was some sort of clef confusion--you enter treble, it gives
