I answered my own question--deadlines do that! In 2007, I exported to MusicXML. In 2006, I re-created the meter structure of the piece in a new document and imported the XML into another new 2006 document. In 2006 I used the Mass Mover to drag the parts to the appropriate staves from the XML docu

I never took 2K6 off the machine, and I didn't uninstall 2K7 as I intend to start installing the revs until I can get it to work well, but there's no way to rescue your 2K7 docs and get them to open in Fin 2K6, as far as I know.

Darcy, Thanks for the reminder about the Mixer window and your tutorial. It's clearly time to re-read it. Pulling down the Master did the trick. Vern, Your suggestions were also helpful. I'm not going for total realism, just renderings of sketches for myself and my musicians. I was very glad to

As I have been doing almost nothing with Finale for the past year but trying to get a handle on the Garritan/Finale experience, here's my take. (Yes; there is a master fader on the Mixer; see under the View menu) A lot of the problem I found with balance and levels is in the creation of the Finale
