Re: Can no longer see the .bundle JW plugins in Finale ...
Is the JW Plugins folder that you have created a subfolder of the Plug-ins folder ? It should be. Do you see that subfolder in the plugins menu ?
Don't forget to relaunch Finale after you move things.

Re: Can no longer see the .bundle JW plugins in Finale ...
The plug-ins should be in the "Macintosh Library" (your hard disk), not your user account library. The first 2 images show the correct path in this logic. So, make sure that the plug-ins are in that location. Question : do you have a M1 or M2 Mac ? (please add that information to your profile). If y...

Re: JW Rhythm Copy / Paste not working
JW Pattern Copy is the plug-in you are referring to.
I think it is still available on Jari Williamsson's website. http://www.finaletips.nu/index.php/download
P.S.: if you have a Mac with a M1, M2 processor, the plug-on will only work if you launch Finale 27 in Rosetta mode.

Re: JW Rhythm Copy / Paste not working
That's not the way the plug-in works. The source and destination should have the same number of notes (with different rhythms). The destination can't be a whole note.

Re: Can we write text on top of a placed image?
Great tip, thanks, Wess.
P.S.: another solution is to create an Expression/Shape, import an image, type text and drag it over the image.
Then select both elements and group them.

The Page Number (created with Text Inserts) should cover a page range starting on page 3 via Edit Frame Attributes (3 through 0).
Page offset should be -2.

If you have a combination of beamed groups and unbeamed notes, you can break or group beams manually : apply the / key (Speedy) on the note on the right.

Re: staff disappeared
You probably used "Hide Empty Staves". You can make it reappear : Staff tool : select the top handle, Staff menu -> Show Empty Staves.
Don't apply Hide Empty Staves before all the active staves have been completed.

On the Mac, you could use Keyboard Maestro. Scripts are a menu item, which can be associated to a hot key.

Re: from Finale 2004 to Finale 25.4
In PrintMusic, he should use Import -> MusicXML, not Open.
By the way, PrintMusic 2014 uses the .musx file format. Have you tried to send him a .musx file ?

Re: Part format
JW Copy Part Layout (Mac & Windows) exists in 32 bit version (Finale 2010-2014.5) and 64 bit version (Finale 25 and above).
In Finale 27, Makemusic included it in the plug-in menu under JW Tools (compatible with Macs with the new M1, M2 processors).

Re: Chord symbols on repeats
It is not a real second line like the one used in Lyrics (verse 1,2, etc...). It is more like "piling up" chords on the same spot.
