Re: note mover
Hard to say what's going wrong. I don't know what you mean by "E note." If you've turned off "Automatic Update Layout" or "Automatic Music Spacing" in Preferences, they should be ON.

Re: Niente decrescendo hairpin
An expression? Most fonts have a degree symbol. This is 12-point Arial. Attach it to the beat where the diminuendo ends. [Mike beat me to it!]

Re: note mover
Looks like you dragged the second A with the Simple Entry tool instead of the Note Mover. Put that note back, and enter both downstem notes in the left hand and flip the stems down. Then use the Note Mover. Make sure Cross Staff is checked in the menu, click the top staff so that handles appear on e...

Re: How can I have two scores open at the same time?
I didn't know about Tile Windows, etc., but I never have occasion to display two files at once. Sounds better than what I suggested, and I see now that you suggested it above.

Re: Section Text for Score & Parts
If "Chorus" is on page 2 in the score and every part, you can get away with using a text block created with the Text tool. That should appear in every part. Otherwise, use an expression in a category that includes a score list, for example the Tempo Marks category. By default, things in that categor...

Re: Missing Measure Numbers
That part has a measure number region, but since you normally don't want to show measures on the cello part in a score, the cello's staff has Show: Measure Numbers unchecked. The best way to deal with this is to set your measure number regions to show on Top Staff as shown below. You can make the Li...

Re: How can I have two scores open at the same time?
You can't run a second copy of Finale. I suspect there's just a misunderstanding here. Finale opens files maximized within its window. If you pull down the Window menu you'll see the list of files open at the bottom, and you can switch between them there to do you copying and pasteing. If you want t...

Re: Windows 10 Home or Pro?
That's good advice.
If you're sure that Finale's misbehaving and that it's not merely unfamiliarity with the program, you could try reinstalling it.

Re: Articulations and slurs stacking not working
Articulation stacking has nothing to do with music spacing.
How do you think it should look?

Re: Missing Measure Numbers
I'm skeptical it's a Finale problem, but if you attach your file and describe what steps you've taken, someone can get to the bottom of it.

I didn't have trouble with the up-bow articulation or the slur in 2014.5 or 27, so I don't know.

Re: Extended Range Instruments
MIDI playback through SoftSynth should just work. You can have a tuba play high C or a piccolo play below the bass clef staff if you want. The Garritan stuff, though, I think is sampled, so maybe not.

Re: Delete unnecessary/duplicate dynamics
Unless you have a huge piece, I would do it manually. If there's a p section, some number of bars rest, and more music that's p, sometimes you want to restate it to remind the player, sometimes not. Seems like a judgement call I wouldn't want to leave to an algorithm.

Re: Corrupted file?
Here's the entire file, which fcopaja mailed to me. The file appears to be corrupted--when I switch to Scroll view, nothing appears except some stray notes if I scroll to the bottom. I tried moving the staff the top as Bill did; it shows as hidden but can't be deleted. I tried selecting all in the S...

Re: Finale 27 temp files
Thanks for the report. I put the temp files elsewhere and periodically clean it out, and it seems to vary. Working on linked parts seems to result in more temp files, maybe.

Ctrl+C/Ctrl+V and the Edit pull-down menu work for me on Windows V. 27. Ctrl+Insert/Shift+Insert do not; they should, but they never have.

Glad you solved it.
If you want PDF file names automatically generated, CutePDF is probably not for you.
