[Finale] Need advice: strategy for managing libraries

[Craig Parmerlee]

I've used Finale for a very long time, mostly as a casual user.  I find 
myself doing more projects these days, and I feel like I am not using 
some of the capabilities intelligently.  In particularl, I don't think 
I am taking advantage of libraries as I should.  I'd appreciate advice 
on this.

My projects are quite varied in instrumentation.  I rarely do two with 
exactly the same instrumentation, so I have not set up my own 
templates.  Instead I start each project by using the new document wizard.

That is terrific for getting the right instruments set up in score 
order with all the right transpositions and all.  But I soon find 
myself entering lots of the same expressions into every document.

I presume it would be smart for me to save all my typical expressions 
into a library.  But I don't quite get the concept.  How do I save only 
the expressions that are my specials -- additional to the ones that 
come in the default Finale document?  Is there a way to get them loaded 
automatically when I do the document setup wizard?  How do y'all 
approach this?

Thanks,
Craig
