Hello everybody,

I just bought Finale 2014 Print Music for Mac and tried to map and customize my drum set notation. I know how to do that in Finale 2012 but I miss the settings button in the Score Manager. Does anyone know if it is possible in Print Music?
Thanks in advance,
Michael

Indeed.

However, you can duplicate an already existing Percussion MIDI Map file - it is an XML file.
And you can edit the duplicate in a text editor.
But you have to know what you are doing - this is not for “beginners”.

Thanks for your answer!
It's a pity that this function is not available in Print Music.
Best wishes,
Michael
