And exactly where in the manual do I find this information to read up on? I was hoping to get a simple, clear and specific response from listers as to which item in the component files folder (like I did in FinMac2003) to define some basic things like fonts and measurement unit for all of my future files in Finale 2008. Instead, I seem to be getting all sorts of different suggestions on how to do this and how to do that.
