Besides the reason Jim Cooper mentioned, of printing booklets, there's another reason. If one is wishes to print a conductor's score sized larger than the largest size of paper one's printer can handle, the score must be tiled, each page of the score divided between two or more sheets of paper which are assembled by "analog" methods after printing. This is not as much of an issue today as it was years ago, when 11 x 17 printers were, if not unknown, tremendously expensive. ns ___ Finale mailing list Finale@shsu.edu http://lists.shsu.edu/mailman/listinfo/finale
Re: [Finale] Parts have different page size than score (Mac)
Thanks, James. I don't think the people at MM are thoughtless, so my first assumption is that there are reasons for decisions to implement things in the ways that they do them. This is an example of why there are two places to control printing parameters. Still, it seems that this is not the usual circumstance, so perhaps it would be more efficient for most users if the default didn't require entering the information in two places. It's a small thing for me, but it might be good to have it automated that way by default and changeable in situations like yours.

In response to the comment "Perhaps there are some conditions in which the Finale page size and the printer set up should not match, but I can't think of why that should be." -- I routinely do this for booklet printing. I set the page layout to 8.5 x 11 portrait, and the printer to 11x17 landscape and print 2-up.

Re: [Finale] Parts have different page size than score (Mac)
One would think so, but I've never found that option to have any effect on this issue. Indeed, I've never seen that it does anything. But I leave it checked anyway.
