Is it just me, or does Finale 27.1 install the plug-ins twice? Once in the correct location, and once in the folder above?

/Library/Application Support/MakeMusic/Finale27 contains folders called "Lyrics", "Scoring and Arranging", etc -- each of which has plug-ins in;
.. and then the same folders are also INSIDE "Plug-ins", where they should be?

From the look of things, it does seem like the 27.1 installer duplicate the plug-ins into the wrong folder.

So, after the 27.0 demo installer deleted your working copy of v26, it's 2 out of 2!!

Does this matter or not?

I don't yet have F 27, but I suppose I'll get it before too long.

It doesn't affect the workings of Finale, which will continue to use whatever plug-ins are in the correct location. However, it adds extraneous unused files to the installation, confuses the user, and speaks to the fastidiousness of the development team.

I have reported it, so I suspect we'll see a 'hot fix' in a week or so, as with the 27.0 release.
