[Finale] Upgrading to Fin12

2012-04-23 Thread Robert Patterson
I am about to retract exactly what I said about Fin12 a day or two ago. Up until now my work with Fin12 was either as a plugin developer or upgrading an old piece that needed no revisions but needed Unicode text to replace unworkable EPS graphics. But now that I have started a new piece in Fin12,
