Ok all you Finale software wizards out there, this is for you. (I'm using Finale 2002.)

Let me start by letting you know I am relatively new to Finale, have had no formal training on it, and have been learning by a long and sometimes frustrating "trial and error" process. So...

I've just finished transposing Sonny Rollins' solo on "Tenor Madness" from a transcription I found on the web. It's a concert Bb Blues, and was transcribed in concert pitch. I used the "Setup Wizard" to create a single trumpet part. I selected the "jazz" font. Then to input the music in, I chose to "View in Concert Pitch."

After a little while I was done. I turned off the "View in Concert Pitch," and behold, I had a beautiful, Bb version of Sonny Rollins' solo on "Tenor Madness." I saved it, printed a copy, and....

GIBBERISH.

My glorious Bb version of Sonny Rollins' solo on "Tenor Madness" looked like a John Cage piece for "Broken Transmission Played by a Stoned, 78 1/2 Year-Old Aborigini Male Covered in Strawberry Jam and Pencil Shavings." But it still looks fine on the computer. Now all my other Finale "works" are printing like that.

I can email anyone of you the file to see if I did something funky. But please, I want Finale "back to normal"!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Regards,

Kevin
