Read up on the new feature that allows you to use ANY Finale document
as a template. It just has to reside in Document Styles folder inside
the FInale folder to show up in the Setup Wizard. This replaces the
old "save the libraries" method, which does not incorporate
metatools, etc. It's WAY better now!
However, I had files get corrupted when I used an old file for this
purpose. It only seemed to affect me (nobody else confirmed having
trouble with old files as templates) so you might be off scott-free.
Try saving an old file in 2008 and using it. Maybe that will help
avoid problems.

I have just loaded Finale 2008 on my new iMac and wanted to set up my

for lyrics, expressions, text blocks, etc...
What is the best way to do this so that whenever I begin a new
document, all
(or most) of my settings are already in place? Do I open up the
Component
Files folder and use the Maestro Font Default? the Score Default?
Thanks for you help. I hope that those of you in the wake of Hurricane
Gustav in or near Baton Rouge, as well as those on the East Coast
dealing
with the remnants of tropical storm Hanna are safe and out of harms
way.
