Re: Finding and eliminating instrument changes
You should be able to see al instrument changes in the Score Manager, if you click the little triangle by the side of the Staff Name. That will pull down a list which will include instrument changes.

Re: Placing measure numbers under the measure
You can specify a different position for Linked Parts from that used in the Score. Just set the Vertical position to a negative number.

Re: Printing with v25 is not completely black
1. Make a PDF from the print menu "Save As PDF". 2. Have a look at the PDF in Preview or Acrobat: zoom in massively. Is everything nice and clean/crisp, or does the problem appear there, too? 3. Print from the PDF. If the PDF looks ok on screen but prints poorly, then the problem is with your print ...

Re: Insert long Graphic in Scroll View
As Peter points out, there's no point in doing this in Scroll View, as you need to do aligning and laying out in Page View.
Finale's document window can display Rulers at the edges. You can also set a Grid to appear at regular intervals.

Re: Unwanted double barline instead of normal, marked as nor
There is a preference in Document Options > Barlines to automatically add double bars after key changes. If you turn that off, it shouldn't matter.

Re: Text Blocks on just select pages in linked parts!
I don't want to have to go through all the other parts, and move that same text block off the page. There is a much easier way. You may consider it a "workaround", but there's always going to be some work in order to tell the app exactly what you want. 1. Create the Text block in the part you want....

Re: Changing Lyric Syllables
From your description it is my guess that you at some point copy/pasted music with lyrics. When you do so, Finale displays the same lyrics in both places. That's not correct. If you copy and paste music with lyrics, Finale creates new lyrics for the duplication. Changes to the original lyrics do no...

Have you got a final bar at the start of the repeat?

Re: Automatic deactivation of 'tie button'
If you're tying notes of equal value, just enter the total note duration as one note: for tied quarter notes, just enter a half note.

Re: 2011b Quality Issues
I'll admit that I never use percussion, and that the recent changes do seem to have generated some heated debate amongst those who use it. But that is a separate argument from issues of program stability, file corruption and playback bugs. From the changes made to Finale since 2008, it is clear that...

Re: 2011b Quality Issues
For every hard luck story of trouble with Finale, there's at least one story (and probably several more) that isn't posted about Finale working satisfactorily. No one feels a sudden urge to start writing letters when Finale works as intended. I have been using Finale since the mid 1990s, and have ve...

Re: printing 2 A4 on one A3
The problem is because your printer has a "print area", which is smaller than the sheet of paper. When you use the print driver or Acrobat to print a booklet, the print is reduced slightly to fit the whole page onto the print area. You don't say what OS you are using. What I do is to print all my Fi...

Re: Omitting staff names on odd-numbered pages
I find it aesthetically unpleasing to break up the flow of the music from one page to the next (not to mention the room lost to the staff names). How big are your margins, and how much are you adjusting them for the names? Using the abbreviated names should not cause you to adjust the margins at al...

Re: Unable to print pdf from a finale 2009 file
1. The Acrobat PDF print queue no longer works in Snow Leopard. Read the Adobe help article on this. 2. You can't drop a Finale file on Distiller. 3. Does the document appear correct on the screen? Does it print to a printer ok? 4. Does "Save As PDF" in the print menu work? 5. Is this for all files,...
