Eric has already listed some reasons, here are some of mine: I like to be able to print booklets easily from Finale. Also, some of these pieces are actually less than a page. Altogether it gives me the most flexibility in terms of changing the layout. I don't have to keep several documents uptodate with my articulation and expression libraries. If I change a document setting I only have to do it once. There are several things in Finale which you can do to the whole document in one go, but which are a drag if you have to them on a page per page basis. I don't have to worry about getting page numbers correct. I can easily print everything into one PDF and send it to the composer for corrections. Takes me 10 seconds to do. If I had to print every page separately and then assemble one PDF from them I think I would go crazy.
