Allen,
All that said and done, HOW does one, for example, get a file that is
based on Engraver Fonts instead of Maestro. I know the work arounds and
basically that is what i am currently having to do, but questions do
remain.
1 why is it that finale defaults itself to maestro when the "default"
document is not present?
2 why is it that if, in program option, the default document ONE sets is
different than maestro, the Wizard does NOT see that document, and creates
any any new file by using the Finale default of Maestro Font Default.FTM ?
Whereas if one asks for the "default" document of preference in the same
wizard window, it will show under default document as set in Program
Options.
3 why is it not possible for a person to choose in a sub-window of Wizard
whether one wishes to use Engraver, Maestro, Jazz, etc?
Basically what I have learned to do is create my "1 Staff" default
document to my wishes, etc. Then first thing I do AFTER the document is
created is go into StaffTool and create the instruments desired, finally
deleting the top "reference staff" and maintaining my desires required
with the variables - Thus rendering the potentially good idea of Staff
Wizard at the opening of finale or in the New Documents completely useless.
As have said many of my colleagues on this forum, it is the incoherencies
in FINALE that make it difficult to understand, and thus work-arounds are
necessary to avoid certain pitfalls later down the line. Fortunately, as
I am sure you can see, there is an awful lot of comraderie here, and if
many of the ideas and help aids were implemented, Finale could potentially
have no real competitors.
