If what you have is Allegro (since that's where you posted) you won't find them. Special Tools are in the full Finale, only.

Yes. And if you did it recently, you paid for a 4 year old version, with none of the improvements of 2008, 2009, and 2010, that may never be updated. Nor can it read anything done with those newer versions. Sorry.

If you bought it from Make Music, I (personally) would call them and raise Hell. If you bought it from a retailer, or online, you might be stuck.

I bought it like 2 years ago. Never got around to asking this question. Back then 2008 cost $600. So I think I made the right choice then.

You can trade up to Finale 2010 for $300. It might be a good move, if you need those special tools.
