Does anyone still have their MacFin 2.6.3 docs? I'm converting some old files, and I can't figure out how I applied individual staff name fonts and positioning in Finale 2.6.3. I've found the global setting, but the individual ones are eluding me. (I need to find out what they were, because the conversion screws them up. Grrrr.)I looked for my docs (thinking I had them on a backup disc somewhere) and then I remembered that they didn't have an online guide back then.

I do remember that we sometimes entered the staff names with leading spaces so that things would line up. There were no justifying options then. We sometimes dragged them off the page so they wouldn't print. Did optimizing the systems free each staff name from the global setting? I can't remember when that was introduced.
(passage of time...)
Ah, I found my Finale 2 reference manuals: There is an X and a Y offset that references the lower left corner of the staff name (first letter) to the upper left corner of the staff itself.
To reposition staff names relative to the staff choose Font Selection from the Special menu. Click X offset or Y Offset and so on.
Does this help or should I keep digging?
