Use MusicXML !!! I haven't experienced losing items, but I had all sorts of HP problems with an old template I had to use on a project. I exported to MusicXML and re-imported into Finale 2014. (Actually I think I did both export and import on 2014) That solved the problems. Obviously there w

It happens with 2012 also, part of it appears to be a Windows 8 issue, I do not see the same sub directories with saving and opening files. Have wasted so much time trying to get IPA syllables in a Warm-up and after I kinda get it right, the file either won't open or disappears. On Wed, Feb 18, 2

I would recommend opening the templates in their original version and running data check on them. Then open them in Fin14 and run data check on them again. Save the result as a Fin14 template and see if you continue to have the problem. On Wed, Feb 18, 2015 at 4:41 PM, Steve Parker wrote: > Two

Personally I am skeptical that the upgraded templates are the source of your problem. It's possible, I suppose, but I would want more than the word of a tech support person to believe it. When you say things are disappearing, what does that mean? On Wed, Feb 18, 2015 at 4:08 PM, Steve Parker wrot

I have a small but time consuming problem with items disappearing. Tech support have told me it is because I’m using a template made in a Finale version before 2014 and that I should create new Templates in 2014. Almost every setting is tweaked as well as a lot of carefully placed items, so this
