Saving an .musx FINALE file to an MP3 file

I'm trying to save a standard FINALE .musx notation file to an MP3 file. I go to FILE/EXPORT/AUDIO and then I am presented with only one option... a .WAV file. Where is the MP3 file option? I'm running a WINDOWS 10 operating system on a 5 year old LENOVO laptop.
Thank you as always.

Re: Need to increase LYRIC FONT SIZE in score.

I have to say though BIll that I lost a whole paragraph which I am having to retype to include the music into the score where it went blank after the Font opereration from the Lyric window.

Re: Need to increase LYRIC FONT SIZE in score.

Bill: My bad. Your solution does work. I just wasn't selecting all the verses in the drop-down which I hadn't noticed before. Thanks. Kimball

Re: Need to increase LYRIC FONT SIZE in score.

Bill: This solution is not working. No effect on the text inside the score and the "Lyrics Window" does not even show the complete text. I changed a paragraph (only one shows in the window) and it had not effect whatsover. I assume something else must be going on.

Lines in Lyrics not dissapearing when edited

In my final score, my lyric lines are plastered with underlines which need to be removed. I have used the Lyrics Tool, - edit word extensions but my cursor is turning into a spear and coloring the small boxes is infrequently successful.

Re: Lyrics bumping into each other

Is there a way to have my lyrics "snap to" (automatically align beautifully in correct spacing between syllables in each line as well as between verses). I have been having to "eyeball" some of my lyric lines to get them to be properly written and spaced and it is not easy to do. Thank You, Kimball ...

Re: Lyrics bumping into each other

Thank you. Zuill's suggestion was the best but I thank everyone who responded. Also, yes, I would like to know how to use hyphens to make the lyrics easier to read. (I am also fixing any minor chords that should be major and all grammer). Thank you again.

Copying a single layer to another empty stave

I am trying to copy only one layer from a measure that has two layers. I have used the move/copy layers command but this does not always work and an additional problem occurs when layer 1 is selected, the song's lyrics are also copied which then need to be individually deleted throughout the piece. ...

Limiting the number of systems per page

I am trying to set up a two system limit on each page. At present, my score only covers 1/2 the page and I want it to properly fill each page in a well ordered symmetrical fashion. I have attached the file below.

Problems deleting a split measure triplet

In my score (attached) I have (in measure 5) a startoff measure (split) for my piece. The first words of my piece are contained within the Triplet. Now, I realized that a triplet is not what I want. I want the triplet to be simply three eighth notes. The problem is that FINALE won't let me just repl...

Re: Unable to expand a system

I want to thank Peter and Perotinus for your additional posts. Peter, I am not certain where the FINALE Program Settings are vis-a-vis the Document settings. I know you said though that in these Program Settings are the desired units.

Re: Unable to expand a system

I want to thank you for your reply. However, I think the units of the measurements are different. Our letter is 8 1/2 X 11 inches. I am in the United States. I'm sorry for this added complexity. Can you please redo for American measurement.
Thank you.
