I just downloaded F27 today and I noticed that repeat counting has changed. Actually, it hasn't just changed, it's corrected a bug that's been there since Finale 1995 (!). This is particularly noticeable if you combine a repeated section with first and second endings and a DCAF at the end of the piece with the Fine at the end of the first repeat ending. It is also noticeable if you have a repeated section (again with first and second endings) in a song and you repeat the whole piece for subsequent verses. F27 will now accurately play all the first and second endings on subsequent repeated verses. The bad news is that I'm now having to go through my older material to take out the fudges I had to put in to cope with the previous errors. The good news is that Finale repeats work logically, predictably and consistently at last. Hurrah!
