I'd like to ask what you do with the default file when version switches. I have so many custom lib, articulation, chords (I hate how Finale spells chord - Very difficult to site-read), page format, just about everything. Since my daily use of Finale is for my own composition, this really matters to me. I also want to have my students consistent with my format.
I have been using the same default file I created years ago but last year I learned from this list that it is a bad idea, which makes sense since Fin file format changes drastically over version upgrade. Moving to 2007, I am trying to modify Maestro default file but it hasn't been easy. There must be a better way: For both articulation and chord, I must create a bogus object so I can click to open the dialog. From there, I must delete all the entries then load the lib files. For chords, on top of this, inconsistently MIDI learned chords get messed up and I won't see it until I hit the chord and saw wrong chord symbol was attached. To do page format on > p2, I have to create 2nd page on the Maestro file then delete it after I finish formatting. Is there any other way? And I wish if File Info data sticks in the default file so new file inherit them. -- - Hiro Hiroaki Honshuku, A-NO-NE Music, Boston, MA <http://a-no-ne.com> <http://anonemusic.com> _______________________________________________ Finale mailing list Finale@shsu.edu http://lists.shsu.edu/mailman/listinfo/finale
