I have done this many times in the past. And you’re right, trying to do it in Finale is a complete waste of time and effort.
I used InDesign but any good writer should work. I exported examples from Finale as a tif and then imported into the final doc. A while back you could also export as an Adobe Illustrator file, but that option is long gone and it probably wasn’t used by many. I think tif is the way to go. Use the Graphics tool in Finale and you should be fine. *************************** J D Thomas ThomaStudios > On Apr 20, 2016, at 11:23 AM, g5gb sge5 <toro...@gmail.com> wrote: > > I'm writing up a very short guide in OpenOffice Writer for students which > is text heavy and I wish to intersperse some very short (mostly single > measure) examples which I create in Finale, but not sure on the best way to > combine these.
