Hi! I create small e-book with notes. I have free version of FinaleNotepad 2012.
I can't find menu option of Utilities -> Measurements -> and to set exact stick number of measurements per line (e.i. I want 4 instead of 5 measurements)
I have found that forum that in finale there is such options but not in mine, it complicates things and the output notes are wrong if I can't set number of measurements.
Is such an option in v.2012 or only in 2014?

Welcome to the forum!

The free program NotePad has very limited layout capabilities (Ya gets what ya pays fer!)

One of the limitations is that in NotePad you can not control the number of measures in each system.
This limitation is true for all versions of NotePad - incl. the latest NotePad version.

If the NotePad documentation says otherwise, then it is a documentation error.

Also, in NotePad you do not have the Utilities menu.

I suggest that you download and try SongWriter or PrintMusic.
