I am currently using multiple monitors to work with Finale 25 and there are many tool windows (ScoreManager, Playback Controls, Audio Unit Viewer, Mixer, and so on) which I want to keep them on secondary monitors. The problem is if I work with other application and come back to Finale, then all tool windows move back to the primary monitor. It is a real pain and I would like to know if there is a way to keep all tool windows on secondary monitors.

I also use 2 monitors, and I experience the same problem. Saving preferences doesn't help. Even when the monitors go to sleep, many tool windows won't stay in their position. The worse window is the Playback Controls, which always jumps to the top of the monitor. Each time I open Finale, if the tool windows are at their position (sometimes !), the Playback window has a tendency to move upwards a little.
I have complained about this to the Tech support, and they couldn't solve the problem...
