Andrew, Other than the command reminder script (which is improved in Finale 2005a, BTW) and the OLD, the only other sources are the plug-in's creator, Robert Piéchaud and the MakeMusic FinaleScript forum. Robert hangs out there a lot and is quicker than I am at getting to most questions...
I can help you with this script. First you will need to tell FinaleScript that you want to work on a whole folder of documents, so in the Script Editor Window, you will want to type: batch process folder Then you need to tell FS what to do to the files. Open is implied. So you will want to say: print close Without a SAVE command, FinaleScript will simply close the file, so your script will look like this: batch process folder print close Before you run the script in the main FS window, you'll need to tell FS what folder you want it to look at, so click the Batch Process Folder button, which is the third button over from the right in the main FS window, and choose the folder you want to use. As you have questions, don't hesitate to ask here or over on the MakeMusic FS forum.
