Finale. >Prefaces/postfaces/author's notes/title pages?

Well, I'm one of those people. Since AppleWorks came free w. thisyer iMac, I may start using it for those occasions where a gen-u-ine word processor would be advantageous. However, typing is typing, and if all I have to do is open a copy of my Finale front-matter template, go to page view, hit the Text tool, call up the pre-loaded, page-size text frame, and type away, how tedious is that? >I would also >have assumed that having (say) the title page for "Nightmare Music" in >Word folder, the cover in the PageMaker folder, and the score in the >Finale folder... no, no, I really have a hard time imagining organizing >things that way.

My Finale folder has in it not only Finale and everything I make w. it, but also Toast and Jam, an alias for StuffIt, etc. You or somebody asked how many files were in that folder, and the answer is ca. 3000--but *of course* it's all organized into subfolders. I guess my real objection to the Application and (especially) the Documents folders is that they add a (to me) unnecessary extra level of folder at the root level of the disk--one extra folder that you *have to* open before you can get to work. It's inelegant, at the very least. -- Andrew Stiller Kallisti Music Press http://www.kallistimusic.com _______________________________________________ Finale mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://mail.shsu.edu/mailman/listinfo/finale
