I found a musx font file for Kousaku in my Finale files somehow, but I'm not able to load it into my scores. How do I install it? :oops:

A musx file is a Finale file, not a font file. Does it open in Finale? To install a font, open the Font Book app and drag the font file into the window.

I don’t understand. All you need to open a Finale file is the demo or purchased product.

Kousaku is a music font that comes with the Japanese version of Finale. It was included inside the application bundle of Finale 26 (on a Mac; I don't know how this translate to Windows), and possibly v25 too. But it doesn't seem to be in the bundle for F27.

However, it's not clear whether you're talking about a FAN file for the font; or a document that requires the font; or something else.
