I am new here and I'm desperately hoping someone can answer this question. I've always worked with Finale 2003 and I just upgraded to 2008 when I got my mac. The notation in Finale is.... weird. I'm not sure how to explain it. Basically, it's not standard notation, it's symbols. I'm sure there's an easy way to fix it, but I just can't find it. I just want a quarter note to look like a quarter note! Any answers??

It looks like your music fonts are not installed properly. Reinstall them.

Have you tried the font utility Font Finagler?
Couldn't hurt.
