Sounds like a font problem if you open a 2012 file in 27 and see the missing text. Have you rebooted the computer since installing 27? Might be a good idea to do it anyway. You could also post a small file for others to test.

According to Score Manager, this file was created with Finale NotePad 2002.1.
I suppose that could be the reason, though I'm only guessing.

Even with older files created 15 years ago (Finale 2008), there are no serious problems editing them, but when issues pop up out of the blue, the only thing I can think of is that I should have made my template with the latest version at hand.

If you still have Finale 2012, open the file with that version. If it looks OK, save it and then open that file with Finale 27. Worth a try.

It sounds like it has to do with the Notepad file. You didn't state whether expressions in the original document were missing when opened in Finale. Otherwise you could just load the libraries you need.

Yes, there's a limited expressions in NotePad. I was wondering if there was a way to load them. Thank you. I've never had to do this. Perhaps you can advise me. I'll tinker around with it.
Everything you need to know is in the Help menu http://usermanuals.finalemusic.com/Fina ... %20library
If you don't know where the libraries are stored go to Edit/Preferences/Folders.

Thank you but I'm afraid I'm just not "getting it." Specifically the dynamics box is blank. So I looked for "dynamics" in the load libraries. I see "Dynamics" in the Jazz Font. They work but I can live with the font. No markings work when I apply something from articulations.heinzfan wrote: ↑Fri Aug 11, 2023 1:27 pmEverything you need to know is in the Help menu http://usermanuals.finalemusic.com/Fina ... %20library

Perhaps it would be better for us to see the original file and not one converted to 27.3Yes, small file attached. Thanks again.

Load the Maestro Font Default.Lib library. When you then click on any of the tools (expression, articulation, etc) they should all then be populated.Billy May wrote: ↑Fri Aug 11, 2023 2:15 pmThank you but I'm afraid I'm just not "getting it."

This was not a problem or bug. You just didn't know the solution. Something happened to the ".lib" file in your old Print Music file and 27.3 could not use it. What else hopefully they will be as easy to fix?Now on to a host of other problems with v27.
