We moved it so that it had a little more exposure (If more people see it and use it, the more chance there will be to getting it more robust...). I'll see to it that the docu error is fixed. Usually things like that make it into the what's new.

I know you're being somewhat rhetorical here, but of course TSAR was in the Plugins menu because it was developed as a plugin, not as an integral part of Finale. (I don't know whether it was developed by Robert Piechaud, author of FinaleScript, or whether it was based on the S&R plugin that Jari Williamson wrote.) I'll grant you that someone coming to Finale 2006 with no prior experience is more likely to look for such a thing under Edit -- unless they read the promotional material which calls it a plugin, or read the note I mentioned which *says* it's under Plugins. >I have a feeling that since FinaleScript has been very underwhelmingly >received (at least it hasn't drawn much attention except from a couple >of devoted users) My impression is that it's useful, but far less useful than it might be. I know that some people have some scripts they use frequently for certain tasks; personally, every time I come up with something that would be really useful in a batch script, I find that FinaleScript can't do it. >Makemusic gave it no thought other than to make sure >that it should work in 2006 and simply copied the 2005 scripts over. I don't have 2005, but in 2004 this particular script actually has different text -- it *doesn't* specify that TSAR is under Plugins. So it was changed by Robert at some point.
