| Some of my more elaborate Finale 2005b scripts (naturally the ones that process a large number of commands) don't function properly in Finale 2006, to which I recently upgraded. Has anybody else experienced this? The script below is supposed to convert a baritone treble clef part to a tuba part by copying entires from one staff to another & transposing the line. It worked perfectly in 2005b but does not even come close in 2006. To illustrate this, I'm attaching files containing a) the Baritone part, b) the erroneous results of running the script & c) what it should look like after executing the script. In the erroneous file the copied entries are from the wrong staff & yield the tenor line down an octave, rather than the bass line down an octave.
