That's actually EVPU (ENIGMA Virtual Page Unit), but in all other
respects the description is correct. EDU is a unit of duration (ENIGMA
Durational Unit); 1024 EDUs is the rhythmic length of a quarter note.

These ENIGMA units are peculiar to Finale alone; the only unit (that I
know of) which is common to engravers in general is the staff space.
