Easy shortcut for Windows users: Open up an Explorer window 
(double-click on My Computer, or type Win+E, or whatever your favorite 
method is), and in the address bar type %appdata% and hit return. This 
will take you to whatever directory is used for holding almost all of 
your per-user settings files. Works on XP, Vista, and Windows 7. 
(Probably works on older versions as well.)

Inside this directory, you can then look for the directory with the name 
of your software or the software's company (like MakeMusic).

Aaron.

You should be able to change the file options in the Finder. Highlight the file 
in the Finder window and then File>Get Info. Go to the very bottom of the Info 
window to find file options.

The website I cited above has a link to a page that will tell you where the
files are in Win.

On Mac it's in ~/Library/Application Helper/MakeMusic/Finale
2012/Libraries. ("~" is the user folder.)

But I haven't figured out how to open and save it without overriding
read-only options and changing the file type. For sure it doesn't match the
online docs.

This, I think, is relevant to a my posting the other day (don't know
whether it reached the list or not) I want to edit the Maestro Font
Template but haven't even been able to find it. (I want to change the
default page size to A4)

Cheers,

[Finale] Fin2012: edit Maestro Font template

2012-01-09 Thread Robert Patterson
So I would like to transfer some settings from older files to my Maestro
Font template file, and I am trying to follow the instructions here:

http://www.finalemusic.com/UserManuals/Finale2012Win/Content/Finale/ID_MENU_FILE_NEW_DEF_DOC.htm

Never mind that there is no longer a "Component Files" folder, I found
where the templates reside. Actually I found them in both the top-level
folder (MacOS) and the user folder. I am assuming I need to change the one
in the user folder. But the installation marked the templates as read-only,
and I am reluctant to override that. Furthermore, Finale 2012 does not seem
to provide the option open the templates as described in the online article.

So how do I do this?
