This is actually a pretty silly request. The Finale fonts have, like most
other music fonts, certain characteristics, including a standardized size,
and a base line which goes through the middle of many of the symbols. That's
a requirement, as only this makes it possible for Finale to use most other
music fonts on the market, including Opus (from Sibelius) or Sonata. It is
simply impossible to have the same characteristics while making the font
also usable as text fonts, which they are not designed to be.

It's not a limitation in the software. Had the software and the fonts been
designed otherwise it would be much more difficult or even impossible to use
other music fonts. Now that would be bad software design.

What's wrong with using the Bach font?
