[Finale] templates

Hi everyone---I've noticed that my jazz ensemble template is looking tiny and this is after I've been careful about things like line thickness and other tweaks. Everything looks very small and crowded. How do I make this template maintain the settings I've given it? Thanks in advance---Brian ___

[Finale] centering score printing

Hi---I'm having a problem printing jazz band scores so that they're centered. They're always hanging off to the left. I know I did it properly last time but I can't remember what I did. It's landscape format of course and I have Finale 2007, with Windows XP Pro. Thanks in advance--Brian ___

Hi everyone---I'm using Finale 2007 and have had good midi input using my Fatar Studiologic SL-990. I was working on a project, closed Finale, then came back to it later and had no midi input at all. When opening the midi setup dialog box, under midi in device, it says "(none)" and when I clicke
