I am trying to work on scanning parts into Finale so that I can turn them into FPA's. The scanning of the parts doesn't pick up triplets, slurs, articulations, multi-measure rests, or any text.
 
Will an upgrade of the smartscore help to pick-up these items?  It needs to be worth the expense if I am going to upgrade.

BK: I suggest you download a free 1 month use of the "Sharpeye" scanning program. When using this program be sure to crop your .tif files rigorously before doing the "Read" command in Sharpeye. I have both the latest SmartScore and latest Sharpeye. Sharpeye costs about $170. Sharpeye is easier to use. Data is moved between Sharpeye and Finale using the import XML function under tha Finale "plug-in" menu". You must have a blank score open in Finale before you open the XML file in Finale.

I downloaded the Sharpeye today, and it is working great. Even picks up jazz font - not as well, but it sure beats entering all that stuff by hand.

Thanks for the tip!
