Because of the non-cascading nature of Finale documents (i.e., once the document is spawned from the template, it is completely disconnected from it), I would argue that settings in the default documents that come with a version of Finale are de facto program behavior. Why? Because absent the non-free plugin (that is not included with Finale) to transfer settings between documents, there is no easy way to migrate settings to existing documents. This is why it is inadequate to me to simply claim that it is completely under use control because it is a document option. Some have suggested on this list in recent memory that it is a good idea to take the time to recreate all your templates from scratch with each new version of Finale that you use. While I understand the reasoning behind that suggestion and the utility to be gained from it, it is a terribly inefficient aspect of Finale. Of course, I've been arguing for cascading templates in Finale as long as I've been on this list. -- David W.
