I just looked a little more carefully at the 2006 enhancements and found one thing that will be useful to me: Smart Line libraries.
For example, Bill Duncan has created some particularly useful Smart Shape devices that include more elements than Finale has in its libraries, like an 8va sign with the usual dashed line following it but with the addition of a clearly noticeable enclosed "loco" included at the end of the stretchable smart line. There are also Smart Shapes with the ability to enter the name of a cued instrument with "Play" appearing at the end of the line. (French Horn Cue.......stretchable line........Play - all in one shape.) These things are quite useful to me, and not easy (though possible) to transfer from file to file. Smart Line libraries will make this a piece of cake.
A little thing, perhaps, but I'm going to like it.
