I thought we had it to a degree -- in the print dialogue is a Print Display Colors checkbox. I realize that the most colors one could use for printing actual notation is 4, so it isn't quite what somebody might want, but it IS available to a limited extent.
The ability to set different colors for each letter of a text box, as you can in some word processors, or mixing colors in expressions, or defining colors for separate sections of notes so we could use colors for analysis and print the results would be a neat option to be able to use, but as we have just seen, there are some basic areas of Finale which are still seriously broken, like the Lyrics tool, or making all tools work like the text Expressions tool or the articulation tool so that each copy of a single item like a Segno mark in the repeat tool will remain where it is placed, rather than like the shape expressions or the repeat tool, where a separate copy in the list is required to achieve individual placement. Those need to be fixed before the use of color is addressed, in my opinion. But I am certainly not averse to increasing the color capabilities at any time as long as those other issues are also addressed.
