Re: [Finale] Component Files Folder (Mac)
Hello all, Here is the response from Finale Documentation: The confusion stems from the fact that we reorganized the Finale folder structure in 2010 (Finale 2011), which means the Component Files folder was removed. Unfortunately, this particular help topic was not updated to reflect the change. The Maestro Font Default file can be found in this location: Mac: ~/Library/Application Support/MakeMusic/Finale 2012/Music Files/Default Files Win: C:\Users\[account]\AppData\Roaming\MakeMusic\Finale 2012\Music Files\Default Files Remember that the tilde (~) is the character that OS X uses to refer to your user account.

But never mind what the manual says. I've checked both user and computer Library folders manually and found Component Files folder in NEITHER of them. How do you edit/save default files? BTW, I get to my user library from a link in the sidebar. Very convenient! On 13/03/2013, at 21:21, Dick Hauser wrote: > OK, I'm puzzled. > > On ML, the user library is hidden.

Also, has anyone noted that the ARIA manual is about three versions? The FINALE score still looks better.
