[Finale] {Spam} default file (another question)
I remember that the changes made in the default file applied also to the Setup Wizzard. I have changed the page sizes, in the score and parts, of the Maestro default file, also in the Engraver document style files, from Letter to A4, which we use here. I have also moved the A4-page size definition in pagesizes.txt to the top of the list, but everytime I open the Setup Wizzard it insist in showing Letter as the default sizes for score and parts, even though it is the second in the list. Is there a way to really change the default size in the Setup Wizzard? I cannot explain this behaviour. Thanks for your replies.

Re: [Finale] {Spam} default file (another question)
I tried to do this for some weeks.. Even deleting all other options still didn't do it. Related to this is that if I have say a string quartet set to 'always use a selected style' that includes A4, it needs reselecting in the Wizard in order to not be US Letter size.

Re: [Finale] {Spam} default file (another question)
The Setup Wizard should open with the page size defined in the default Document Style. Also, if you have changed the page size in any particular Document Style, you should see this page size automatically selected when you select that style in the list on the first page of the Setup Wizard. Here's what I did: in my "Document Styles" folder I first replaced the "Engraved Style" document by "Engraved Style (European)", then edited this document to my taste, including changing the page sizes for score and parts to A4. My Setup Wizard now shows A4 when I open it. Michael On 8 Jan 2011, at 23:53, Rafael L. Junchaya wrote: > I remember that the changes made in the default file applied also to the > Setup > Wizzard.

Mine shows it exactly as you describe. However, if I don't independently reselect the document style then I don't get A4. I don't have to select the page sizes only reselect the doc style. Steve P.

open setup wizard - select string quartet (already linked to a homemade doc style which includes score and parts at A4 size) But.. the page sizes say US Letter even though it is not in my pagesizes.txt!

It should default to the first page size in the list. Make sure that this is exactly the same as the one in your document style.

Re: [Finale] {Spam} default file (another question)
The reason for having two copies is to allow different user accounts to have different default settings. When a user starts using Finale, the files are copied to their user library. I don't know which location is more obvious to those not in the know: it may be a problem of the Mac OS that there are similar-looking folders called "Library" in different places. I think MakeMusic are right to have different copies of the default files for different users, so that when one user edit their defaults the other users are not affected; the problem is that it's too easy to come across the originals of these files and edit them instead of the copies in your user account. If you do this, first of all it won't have any effect on your Finale defaults, and second it _will_ have an effect when somebody subsequently uses Finale for the first time in another account. It would be better if the original default files were contained in the application package itself: then the only default files that a particular user could find and edit would be in their own user account.

You need multiple user accounts to handle partitioning of permissions. There may be only one user logon for a particular machine, but there are going to be different accounts involved. For instance, on Windows, there's a SYSTEM account that is used for various system-related activities. It's not one you see defined in the list of users, but it's a real account, nonetheless. Any computer system needs to be partitioned into user-controlled data and system-controlled data (i.e., administratively-controlled) in order to maintain stability (early versions of Windows suffered from instability precisely because of too loose a structure in this regard, i.e., with plain users able to alter the OS and applications). You would not like a system that was not structured without such segregation of data and permissions and security. It would be unsafe and harder to use than what you have. What I would say about this is that an application like Finale where it's likely there will be user-edited templates, but that you'd want to retain the ability to use the original templates ought to have some kind of user interface to make it easy to manage your templates, i.e., a UI that would take care of storing the templates in the right locations so the user wouldn't need to be browsing the hard drive. With a proper management UI, the user shouldn't really care where the templates are stored. But I've never seen any software with templates that has made it really easy to manage templates. Of course, I also think the Finale template model is about 20 years out of date, but that's another issue entirely... -- David W.

I think they are called children. You know, sharing the family puter, with parental controls and supervision = different accounts. But even that is a thing of the past now.

{Spam} Re: [Finale] {Spam} default file (another question)
Oh, this is simply amazing... I have followed every suggestion here. I have
changed the page sizes in every doc style and default file, I have edited the
pagesizes.txt file, but I don't get but Letter size by default and it does not
change whatever doc style I select. I went even further: renamed Letter to
Carta
(Spanish name) and move it to the bottom of the list in pagesizes.txt. Now,
when
I open the Setup Wizzard it reads Carta by default, eventhough it's the last
name on the list. I am suspecting that the default size (8,5 x 11 in) is
hardcoded in the programme itself, and this is overriding the (former) function
of the pagesizes.txt file. I forgot to mention, I am in FinWin2k11b

In that case, the pagesizes.txt that Finale is using is not the one you edited.
The page sizes menu in the Setup Wizard is constructed from the pagesizes.txt
file. On Mac, if you're using Finale 2011, you have to edit the file in the
library in your user folder, not in the main library.
