Hello,

At first I had finale notepad where I created many lead sheets. Now I have full finale and I wish to edit and change these lead sheets and even though finale opens the file it still acts as if it is still in Notepad, with limited choices. How do I convert what I did in notepad to finale full version.

Thanks
Michael

The libraries loaded with a Notepad file are limited. You can either load a fuller library in Finale, or copy the Notepad file into a new default Finale file.
