I'm running a Trial version of Finale2014, and am unable to locate the Special Tools palette. Is this simply a matter of this service not being available on a trial version or is this my inability to locate something that has been moved or dissolved into other features?
Version: PrintMusic 2014 Trial (run on a Mac).

Welcome to the forum!
Are you asking about the trial version of (full) Finale 2014, or the trial version of PrintMusic 2014?
As Far As I Know, only the “full Finale” has the Special Tools.
PrintMusic has, I think, never had Special Tools.

You're correct. At the time I hadn't realized that Print Music and Finale were two separate things. But now I realize...and am finding other little things that you can't do in Print Music (like customize titles of staves). I wanted a trial of regular finale but it looks like I downloaded the wrong trial.
Thanks.
Thanks.

You can change the staff names to anything you wish in PM2014. This is done in the Score Manager.
If by "customise" you mean change the font or size, you would have to do that with a text expression. You are correct that you can't change that in PM.
