Is anyone aware of compatibility problems between SW and Printmusic? I sent a SW file (.mus) to a friend who has PM but it won't open. Nor did it open when transferring via flash drive. Thoughts?

It's not a question of compatibility between the programs; rather, it's between the VERSIONS. You have 2012, he has 2011. NO Finale products are backwards compatible. Export your document as XML, and send it to him. He will import it, and all should be well.

Instructions for this will be in both programs' help files.
