Could some of those notes be in another layer? Do you have Show Active Layer Only selected?

Without seeing the doc, it’s really hard to tell. You can’t post a Finale file here, but you can post it to Dropbox or something similar, and post a link.

Marius Herea,

Just guessing:

1) You are viewing the score in Page View - right?

2) The missing measures (and the notes in them) are visible in Scroll View - right?

3) The issue can be fixed by a) selecting the region containing the missing measures (+ one measure before and after), and b) going to

Edit menu > Multimeasure Rests > Break

- right?

Hi guys,

The missing bars are NOT visible at all, in no way. For instance, you can see bar nr 100 in the left side of the stave, then, the next stave's number is 110, but...there are ONLY 8 bars...2 bars simply do not exist anymore. But the program counts them AS IF they existed. 

This is the issue. I never met such an issue in Finale so far. Never before. 

I tried to leave a screenshot here but didn't work. 

It is also nothing to do with other layers. I clicked layer 2, then 3, 4...it is the same missing bars. I also added 2 more bars in order to type the notes again but then, the final numbers of bars change. The conductor will be confused as the full score will not correspond with the solo part. 
So, I had to delete them back in order to have the same number of bars. 

I will have to ask the conductor to write by hand the missing bars, just to keep the right number of bars and be right with the musicians, unless you tell me how to bring those bars back in the score. Like I said, the program counted them, but they are nowhere...

Here I was told to send a file of no more than 2 Mb. The screenshot is only 200 kb, it is much less than 2 Mb, I don't understand why I cannot send it to you.

You are talking about a screen shot - right?

Instead of a screen shot Mike Rosen asked for a Finale document to examine (to diagnose the problem, and find the culprit).

An actual Finale document will tell a lot more than a screen shot.

You can’t post a Finale file here, but you can post it to Dropbox or something similar, and post a link.

If “the Dropbox way” fails, you could try e-mailing the Finale document.

Ok, I will email it. To which address please?

Is this email address ok to send the Finale file to?

No it isn't.

Use wawoodman at aol dot com only normal email nomenclature.

I can also give you mine if that doesn't work.

Hi Ernest, 

I sent the file to the given email address.
Thank you for trying to help me!

Marius sent it to me. I did the XML export/import, and the measures reappeared. Since it looks like he created the file with F2012, I didn't send my corrected score back to him, but I did suggest that he try try the same thing in his version.

I finally suggested he copy his document into a new, blank one. It worked! He's a happy camper.
