"why do they use a Finale example that hasn't had music spacing or update

As I indicated, the essay used bad Finale output as a strawman in its
argument. It's too bad because the case for Lilypond could have been made
on its own terms or — if more subtly — in reference to good Finale
output. That said, the amount of Finale output which I see out there from
casual users which has (1) no music spacing applied, (2) no layout update,
(3) the last measure of the piece sitting in a single measure system
stretching across the page, and (4) default Times Roman typeface, is
sometimes startling. There has definitely been some poor communication
about some essential features of the program and this has more than likely
contributed to some popular misconceptions about Finale.
