This won't start one, but I do have a general question. :) I've almost never been asked for Finale files, but tend to provide them anyway, just so there's a record in more than one place. But last week, I was asked for the files by a composer who wanted to tweak the results. I thought nothing of it -- until he was having nightmares with my multiple workarounds, forgot to turn off automatic spacing, didn't know how to work with the page size (I work in an approximately 9x12 original before going to PDF) and couldn't read my custom fonts on his Mac (just Roman numerals, in this case). What do folks normally do? Because I do exclusively new music, it's not like I'm a jealous guardian of the original files. I feel like they belong with the composer. On the other hand, I'm not enthused about offering ongoing help in this way, even though this is an occasional but faithful engraving client.
