Dear Hiro, I think that Jari may be on to the thing that is troubling you in the printout that looks too heavy. The Finale default files were changed a couple of years ago, and the stems and staff lines were set at 3.5 EVPUS. This is too thick to my eye and gives everything an unrefined and heavy handed look. In the line settings in "Document Options" - try 2.5 for those things, and if that's still too heavy, try 2.25 or 2. If it gets thinner than that, it gets hard for my old eyes to read.
I think you can solve this easily. Chuck > Jari Williamsson / 05.2.7 / 00:35 PM wrote: > > >Which fonts are you comparing?
