Try setting everything the way you want then go to Options| Program Options| View and be sure to check the boxes for 'Save window states when exiting Finale' and 'Load window states when starting Finale'. Click OK then exit Finale. When you restart it, it should be just the way you want. Once I get the view I want to load reliably, I usually go back in and uncheck 'Save window states when exiting Finale' so that any temporary changes I make or any strange behavior I might get from having Finale minimized does not get saved and reloaded when I exit. Hope this helps!

Dear Listers,
This is driving me nuts, and I have been hassling with this all through 2004, and now the same thing is true of 2005 version of MacFin.
I like to have the Tool Bar in a single strip across the top of the screen, using the "Contemporary" palette. I like the tools in a certain order, and change them to what I want by dragging them to their preferred positions while hold down Shift/Control. Nothing I do will retain the way I configure it when I restart Finale and reopen a file.
Extenuating circumstances: I can get a single strip only if I switch to "Classic" palette. That will stay and appear the next time I open Finale. But the preferred position order will not. If, before I close the file, I change back to Contemporary palette, it will not stay there and the order will be back to a default setting.
Also, I have always been important to Save the file and also, under Edit/Save Special, do Save Prefs. To no avail.
Any solutions come to mind?
All the best,
KIM Richmond
