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. If you need to open it, make sure you are in the Finder, hold down the Option key, and then choose Go Library. At first, I thought one had to use the option key when in finale looking for a file which is in the user Library. However, I just tried that and it didn't work. From the finder I can get to system / library / application support / make music / Finale 2012 / but there is no Component files folder there. There is a Libraries folder, which has a Maestro Font Default in it, however. Using the option key from the finder, I can get to user / library / Application Support / Make Music / Finale 2012 / Libraries / and find a Maestro Font Default there also. I don't have a clue as to how one might open that file in Finale to make changes.

Manual tells me to (from open menu) navigate to user:library:application support:make music:finale 2012:component files:maestro font default.FTM to edit it. The problem is, there is no component files folder on my computer neither there is a Maestro Font Default.FTM file anywhere. I found two Maestro Default Font files *without the sufix*, inside two Default Files folders, one on each library folder (user and computer). If I try to edit these, I get an error message when I attempt to replace the existing ones throug a save command. Can anyone help?

RE: [Finale] Finale 2008 and new Mac Snow Leopard OS...update
Hello all, I thought that you would be interested in our new article about OSX 10.6 (Snow Leopard) compatibility from our knowledge base at http://makemusic.custhelp.com/app/answers/detail/a_id/1724. We will update the article if additional information becomes available.

The gentleman to whom I spoke said their only commitment would be to make sure Finale 2010 works perfectly in Snow Leopard. They absolutely would not be testing 2008 (and I assume any other version earlier than 2010) to see if it would work with Snow Leopard. He did say there probably would not be a lot of problems, but there was no guarantee of that. If anyone on this list who currently uses Finale 2008 on a Mac, and is planning on trying it with Snow Leopard, could they either post to the entire list, or privately to me, how things work out? Until I know for sure that Finale 2008 will work under Snow Leopard just as it presently does for me under OS 10.5.8, I won't be upgrading to Snow Leopard anytime soon. And to think it took me years to finally jump from Finale 2003 to Finale 2008.
