Choice of page sizes for new documents

[David Ward]

Can somebody please remind me how, on a Mac, I can limit the page sizes on offer for new documents to A4, B4, A3 and Custom, in that order. This is for non-template documents. I did it for some much earlier versions of Finale, but haven't bothered since. However, I think I'd like to set this up for F 25 and potentially F 26, if indeed it is still possible.

For Finale 25, I think this is the file you're after:

Hard Drive > Library > Application Support > Make Music > Finale > Configuration Files > pagesizes.txt

Since it's only a text file, you could probably copy in one of your already modified files.

Yes, I'd though it could perhaps be there. However, changing the contents of that configuration file seems to have absolutely no effect whatsoever on the choice of page sizes presented in either the Setup Wizard or in Document Options. (This is after relaunching Finale, but not restarting the computer.)

There is another file like this in your User Folder library. Did you change both of them? You'd think that files such as these would only appear in one place, the hard drive library, because they seem to be meant for all users.

Ha! Making the change in the User Library does what I want. Very many thanks.
