Actually, I think two versions have had much better templates than
before. Not ideal in every respect, but still much better.
However, what really needs to be improved is Finale's template handling.
There is absolutely no reason that the wizard can only have two
templates. If MM shipped Finale with, say, 5 different templates,
representing European, American, Jazz etc standards People would
probably find it much easier to find an ideal template for the task.
Currently the Maestro Default file tries to accomodate a variety of
styles, and none of them very well.

You're absolutely right. I think I've forgotten how bad the Finale defaults
were, because I've been moving templates forward for a long time (haven't
broken anything yet). But yes, a nicely set up Finale template would be a
Good Thing.
Has that been done in the latest version? I once again moved my template
forward, so I don't know.
