I just ran into an interesting one. I inserted a blank page in my score
for
a page turn. I then decided to just take the two short pieces on the
previous page and extend them out to two pages. But with Final, TMK you
can't just move the measures or systems to the next page - they want to
jump
across the blank page to the next "real" measure. I had to insert some
empty
systems, and then copy the music to the new measures, fix all the stuff
that
got messed up, then delete the earlier, now duplicate music, and then
re-orient all the systems. Of course it also messed up the already
formatted
later pages, and I had to re-do those as well. Arggh. So I've spent the
better part of the afternoon making two pages out of 1, which really
should
be much simpler than that.
