That's probably a job for FinaleScript, which allows this kind of batch processing capability. But I've never used it much and can't offer advice.

Re: [Finale] change Default Page Format for Parts?
Aaron and Christopher, Thanks for your mails. So your solution is to edit either the master template — which is a good idea for the future — or the master document before making parts from it. My problem is that I have a gazillion older scores — each with 20-30 movements saved as individual files — from which I need to make parts. So what I've been doing up to now is: open each file individually and change its Page Format for Parts before making parts from it. But this is very-time-and-concentration consuming, to say nothing of bring mind-and-carpal-tunnel-numbingly boring and I had hoped to be able to edit the default file that comes with (the American Version of) Finale. Do you or anyone else know if it's possible to "batch edit" a large number of files in this sense — without running the risk of making a _really_ big mess?
