You can do it directly from Finale by choosing 11x17 as the page size and 2-up printing, ignore printer margins. Sent from my iPhone > On Jun 5, 2016, at 6:52 PM, Robert Patterson > wrote: > > If you mean booklet printing, I use Cheap Imposter on Mac. Adobe Reader can > also do it. > > On S

Amen. Been doing that also. There is an odd problem with these files and MakeMusic says they are working on a fix -- same with the issues in the unstoppable playback -- which is tolerable on a lead sheet but impossible when writing a concerto movement. Thanks. Jon On Sun, Jun 5, 2016 at 1:29

And when your Preferences are set up as you like them, make duplicates of this Preference file (Finale 2014.5 Preferences - copy 1 - etc.), so that when one file becomes corrupted, you can replace it with a copy (simply remove the “copy x” from the name) without having to rebuild your entire pr

Not meaning to hijack this thread, but I agree with Jon about 2014.5 being an absolute slug when editing a large orchestral file. I am working on an opera that ballooned to 7.3MB from 3MB when I converted it from Finale 2012 to 2014. Everything takes an eternity when editing: changing tools, c

Really appreciate the feedback. What I'm hearing is, suck it up until I'm finished with this orchestration, then upgrade to Finale 2014.5, especially because I heard 2012 has problems with .asv files (which would really scare me, because I average a few crashes a month).
