Not a good one. Scroll bars shouldn't be being used for incremental changes 
such as those found in the Key Signature or Time Signature tools. Apple has 
provided up/down arrows to be used where a value can be altered by set 
increments. Finale actually uses these arrows in other situations: you can see 
them, for instance, in the Playback Controls window. Next to the arrows is a 
field where you can enter a numerical value directly if you prefer.

If you want to always see scroll bars in Mac OS X, you can set this in System 
Preferences> General.

For those places in Finale where scroll bars are being used instead of the more 
appropriate arrows + number field, tell MakeMusic about it. I have already 
voiced my displeasure here and I know that others have done the same. It's the 
usual story: if more users show dissatisfaction, MakeMusic are more likely to 
do something about it.

Best wishes,
Michael
