When you open your Custom library, it opens this library and merges the elements with whatever library (or libraries) are already open. That way you can open more than one custom library and have access to all the elements in all the libraries.
So if you want your new Custom library to be the default library, you can edit a blank document's expression library to be just what you want, then save the library AND save the blank document as the same name as the default document you are using. Then the next time Finale opens a new document, your version of the default file (with YOUR library edits) will open up and you won't have to open your Custom library separately.

Trying hard not to hog the questions on the list I have just spent time reading up on saving 'amended' libraries. (I'm on WinFin2001d) For instance, in "Text Expressions" I have put: Str.Mute. Open. 1st X only, 2nd X only, to Coda, Coda sign (Thank you!!) plus several more Rehearsal letters, (enclosed) and several other regularly used bits and pieces. I also deleted from the original list things like; ffff, fff, pppp, ppp,(does anyone still use these?) sffz, Adagio, Conductors Score.- and a few others I habitually never use. Following the manual I saved the library and named it "Custom". Close file, open new one, go to File menu, open library, click on "Custom". Text Expression tool, click a measure- YIPPEE!- there are my "add-ins". BUT the deleted bits- ffff,fff,pppp,ppp etc, were back in. How come if I customised the library, it picks up the "add ins" but not the "deletions"? Can I make it (or ask it nicely to!) delete these things. If I can, can I then re-assign metatools- e.g. metatool 1 is (was) ffff. 2 = fff, and since they are now deleted can I re-assign metatool 1 to be- for example Coda sign, and 2 to be "to Coda" etc. Sorry to be so longwinded, but better to give all the info than not.
