David,

Thanks for the PageMaker plug. I think I just might try using it. My
current project is a collection of 7 short pieces for organ--each piece is
2-3 pages long. I think the total number of pages is 28 or 32.  I have
already printed everything on 8.5 x 11 paper, double-sided, and they look
great.  Each piece is in a separate file.

My gut feeling is that if I print using Finale, I will need to combine all
seven pieces into a single file, including the title-page, etc. Then I can
have Finale print pages 1 and 32 on one side of an 11 x 17 page, pages 2
and 31 on the other side, pages 3 and 30 on one side of a second sheet of
paper, etc., etc.

... Or I can (as I learn about PageMaker) define the 32 pages in
PageMaker, and place the individual EPS files (exported from Windows
Finale) in each page--complete with page numbers, plate numbers, etc.

BTW (sorry for asking stupid questions): If I decide to go the Finale-only
route, do you have any tips for combining the seven files (one for each
piece) into a single file? Past experience (with older versions of Finale)
tells me that it isn't trivial to copy 2-3 pages from a short file and
paste those pages into the new composite (merged) file--and have them
retain their formatting, etc. (Am I wrong?)

Thanks!

Weldon
