I very much appreciate this. Fortunately, my clients tend not to want to do
it themselves (and I don't put my name anywhere on the scores). My clients'
desire is merely to protect their investment, so I happily provide the
Finale files.

Protection of investment I can also understand. I had to re-do an entire
cycle of songs from scratch recently because the original Finale files had
not been provided to the composer, and the different people who did the
work were no longer in the business. It was an expensive problem for my
client, who merely wanted his set of songs made to look consistent.
