RE: [Finale] Where's the Default Document?
Hi all, We did make a change to Finale 2011's file structure to conform to Apple's and Windows' suggested locations, which are stored both in global and user locations. More information can be found in our Knowledge Base and User Manual: http://makemusic.custhelp.com/app/answers/detail/a_id/4071/ http://www.finalemusic.com/UserManuals/Finale2011Win/Content/Finale/FinaleInstallationDetails.htm http://www.finalemusic.com/UserManuals/Finale2011Mac/Content/Finale/FinaleInstallationDetails.htm Justin Phillips Notation Product Specialist MakeMusic, Inc. -Original Message- From: finale-boun...@shsu.edu [mailto:finale-boun...@shsu.edu] On Behalf Of Eric Dannewitz Sent: Sunday, October 03, 2010 1:09 PM To: finale@shsu.edu Subject: Re: [Finale] Where's the Default Document? Nope. And it seems really silly that they have EXACTLY THE SAME FOLDER in the Mac HD/Library as they do in the ~/Username/Library In fact, we have the same folders for Audio Units Support, Configuration Files, FinaleScript, Font Annotations, Libraries, Midi Device Annotations, and Music Files. Actually, I take that back. It's STUPID to have it in two places.but then again this is MakeMusic we are talking about..so...

As a matter of fact, it doesn't seem to be _anywhere_ in the Finale Folder. And the FM doesn't even have an entry for default document ... Any idea where the pesky programmers at MM might have stashed it?

You're thinking in single-user mode, but Finale is designed for mult- user scenarios (as it should be). The copies in the in the Mac HD/Library are for everybody (and likely read-only?), while the copies in ~/Username/Library are specific to each user. This is the correct organization for modern multi-user OS's. -- David W.
