Neil and Han-Wen, Thanks so much for the change to 64-bit! I have tried the original test case I sent to the user list, and it now compiles without error! Also, I tried one of the parts for the score I'm working on that was similarly breaking, and it seems to work fine, too.
Below is the test case that now works. Thanks again!
