Hello,
I have a bunch of charts that were written using the jazz font.
Is there a way to quickly convert them using Finale default font library in few clicks?
Many thanks!

You can change the Default Music Font under the Documents menu. You can load in a Library of options and settings that suit a different font.
That will get you most of the way. There may still be some things that need manually adjusting. Chord suffixes are not without difficulty.

Another way to approach this is to make a new default template with the same instrumentation using the Setup Wizard. Copy the source file into the template. You'll see any "wrong" chord suffixes at the end of the suffix selection box. Delete any one of these and specify a replacement from the default suffixes. Continue one by one until all old suffixes are replaced. Do the same thing with the articulations and expressions. It's a bit of work, but the easiest way to make sure all unwanted symbols are replaced with the correct one.
