Dear Listers, Greetings from England, and very best wishes for the New Year. I started using Finale at version 2.2, back in 1994, and tracked its improvements as far as Finale 2000c. With work-rounds that did a good job for me I produced a great deal of music, much of it for the adult learners' orchestra that I started in 1995. After a major computer crash in November I'm expecting to have a new computer and Finale 2014 for Windows very soon. I've had a chance to trial-and-error it a bit already, but not managed to find various things that I used a lot in the earlier version. I'm hoping someone can help me to find them, even if just by telling me what to search on in the on-line help. 1. How can I increase the number of most recently closed items listed at the bottom of the File menu (default seems to be 4)? 2. How can I change the default font for e.g. the number above a multi-measure rest? I found a specific item for the default music font, but not the extensive list(s) I expected for all sorts of other elements. 3. I haven't found a way to respace a number of bars if e.g. I want to enlarge a multi-measure rest and then space the remaining bars in the line equally. I'm puzzled that it doesn't seem to be a possibility related to the menu that appears when I right click on one of the "measure spacing handles". I'm sure I must be missing something. Hopefully...
