Another thing to do that is handy is to save out all the document options from the default file as a library that you can then load into existing documents. This is what I do to import Maestro's defaults into files that I am converting from older versions where I originally used a different default music font. Of course, you want to edit the defaults first before saving them out to the library. -- David W.
