It will print separate documents, no? > > One big drawback to me would be the slowness of my computer.

How do you mean, my computer is a 266 MHz Wallstreet Powerbook. Not exactly a fast machine by todays standards. But only one page draws at the time anyway? Yes, Finale gets slower with longer documents, but it's always been ok for me. > > As for music spacing, I would presume you can't use Select All anymore, that > you have to manually highlight only the measures of the piece you're > currently working on.

No. If I want to have the system start a new page I use the new Page command in the page layout tool. The point is that I sometimes have a new pieces starting on the same page, which can only be done if the two pieces are in the same file. > > What other tricks and tips are there to doing a collection as one > file--please enlighten me (or us)? I cannot think of any right away, but if you tell me some problems you have I am sure I can come up with some solutions.
