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).

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.

Re: [Finale] Fin2012: edit Maestro Font template
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.

[Finale] Fin2012: edit Maestro Font template
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? ___ Finale mailing list Finale@shsu.edu http://lists.shsu.edu/mailman/listinfo/finale
