**Do you know anything about editing joint parameters?  When I swivel the head, or bend it in any direction, the chin stretches and compresses like chewing gum.  (although, this might have something to do also with the Cr2 not recognizing V4's upper and lower jaw objects.  I'm trying to insert these actors by copy and paste via the Cr2 Editor utility.  Any suggestions and advice would be welcome.

Just to learn how to create figures, I made a simple, crude, man figure in Wings3D and
then imported the object file into Poser.  Then I went into the Setup-up room to bone it.
To make a long story short, after I took him back to Pose room, I too had problems with
the head bending like chewing gum (As well as several other  body parts).
Turns out you can use the Joint Editor to fix this (Shift+Ctrl+J).
The just click on the body part you want to fix. Let's do the head, click on the head.
The Joint Editor defaults to Center.
Don't worry about this one for now. Instead use the pull-down to select Side-Side
Make sure Display Deformer is checked and Spherical Falloff Zones is un-checked.
Now go to the parameter dial and move the head form side to side.
You should see two green lines and two read lines below them. Go to the end of
each line with your mouse and you will see a circle with a dot in it. Use this to
move the green lines  and the red lines up up and down and this should fix
the side to side distortion.  Now do the same for Bend. (You may need to use
the side cameras for this).
Now for Twist. Instead of lines, you just have one black line with a green bar on the
top and a red bar on the bottom.  Move these bars up or down to fix the distortions
in the twist.
Now if you are still having some problems, go back to Center on the Joint Editor
and try moving the centers up and down (The circle and dot will be in the middle
instead of on the ends of the lines for this one.)  This is a last resort because it
can mess up other things.  The other ones won't hurt anything but that particular
body part.
Hope this helps.
