Agreed. It's a windows issue. I had a similar problem when I installed
Bill Duncan's new Articulations font for Finale on my PC and tried to
use my default Maestro file from my Mac on my PC. The articulations were
totally messed up.

What I ended up doing was going to command line, doing a chkdsk /f,
reboot, it checks itself, and then everything worked fine.
