Notes in adjacent layers keep moving

New post

I am editing a score originally copied in 1998, but now on Finale 2014a.

I painstakingly adjusted many, many notes in adjacent layers which, somehow, had moved: things that are a second apart had shifted so that they were far apart, instead of being right next to each other. I can't tell you how long I worked to get this back to the way it was supposed to be. And then I had it all fixed, printed out the score, and found that they had all shifted again.

Why won't they stay put? And how can I count on them eventually staying in the right place? I can't afford the time to have to adjust these every single time I need to edit or print out the score.

Thanks,

Mark Carlson

In order to give the best possible help I think that we need to see an actual (small) Finale sample document with the problem.

You can not attach a Finale document here (only graphic files).

But you can upload a Finale document elsewhere, and add a link here.

Try e. g. uploading to “the other Finale Forum” at

Thank you, Peter! I am so glad to know about the other site. You have saved my ass a number of times over the years on the now-abandoned site, for which I am always grateful.
