So I've just upgraded to Finale 27 and my metatools don't seem to be working even though they have the correct keyboard assignments. Anybody else having this issue?

Even though it seems your problem is different, it may be related to the same issue.

Have the same problem. Tried to fix it by entering "Maestro Font Default.ftmx" under preferences - as advised. Have also tried to use the Legacy Font document styles that are still with us, but nothing could fix the problem. However, Metatools programmed to NumPad works fine....

Lightening struck, and I woke up.... and then I fell asleep again..... But in between something happened...
Problem solved - at least mine though.
All metatools works fine with SMuFL document styles.
The problem was my laptop keyboard. Switching to an external (USB) keyboard solved it.
But - should really have liked to know why my internal keboard (A new ThinkPad by the way) won't obey me....
