I currently use Finale v.25 on Windows 10.

I am having trouble editing the Composer, Arranger, Lyricist, and Subtitle text. I am new to finale so I am not used to using it. I have tried the Score manager, but it doesn't let me change for some reason.

I suppose that you mean the ScoreManager’s tab File Info, right?

The tab File Info works for me, sorry.

I think that we need more info from you.
Could you give us the exact steps that lead to your problem - so that we can reproduce the problem?

For the ScoreManager info to appear in a score, the placeholders need to be placed where you want each of the pieces of information to appear. In the Text Tool, double click the spot, then choose Insert from the text menu. Choose the placeholder for the item from the list that you want in that spot.

I never use them. I just add the info in with text expressions.

There are advantages for using Text Inserts, so it's good to get to know how to use them.
