Another problem might be when different movements have differing instrumentation (such as a work where brass plays 1st and 3rd movements but are tacet in the 2nd movement. If the movements were entered as separate files there probably wouldn't be any staves for the brass, so copying music from that second movement (especially if staff lists were used) into the first movement would be problematic.

If the instrumentation is consistent throughout, however, that wouldn't be an issue, just the little gotchas like the clefs that Johannes is mentioning along with the page layout issues.

If you have a multimovement work that you want to print out in
booklet form (2-up, duplexed, folded and stapled), I assume that
_all_ the movements must be in one Finale file. I would think that
Jari Williamsson's "JW Booklet Preparation" plug-in, for example,
would need to know the total number of pages to be printed in order
to work correctly.


I guess that this is correct. It seems to me that the length of piece that
can be put into a stapled booklet is not really that large to get too
worried about the file size.

Secondly, if all of the movements must be in one file, does anyone
have any suggestions for appending one movement (file) to another
movement (file)? I've never tried this.


A few problems. The only real way to do this is by copying from one file
into another. This will loose any page formatting, measure expression
assignments, and page text blocks. I also regularly have problems with clef
changes not copying, though there may be a work around.
