Like many of you, I have multiple computers I work off of.

I'd like to take my programmed shortcuts/FinaleScripts I programmed and move them to my other computer.

How do I accomplish this?

Metatools are file-specific. If you have files with metatools already set up, they will work on any other computer.

Search your drive for a directory called FinaleScript. Copy that to the new machine.

For you on a Mac, your FinaleScript files are going to in (unless you changed the default install location):

Macintosh HD > Library > Application Support > Makemusic > Finale > FinaleScript

There you will see even more folders with the same structure as you get in the FinaleScript tool.

Like motet said, copy the files for the scripts you want to move over and then paste them in the corresponding folder on your other computer.

Hope this helps,
Nick
