Fixes in Finale 2008a
Audio
• Adding a new staff to the top of a score no longer removes the existing audio track without warning.
• Recording/Importing of audio now takes pickup measures into account for the start point.
• The audio track no longer disappears if a measure is inserted before a repeat where an audio track is set to play on the nth pass.

Chord Tool
• The plus sign now works properly in chord suffix creation.

File Menu
• When multiple files are open, Finale no longer crashes after closing the 1st open document in the list and then changing layers in one of the remaining open documents.
