This isn't exactly a bug, but it seems to me to be a flaw in the
program.
When I write a score, I usually want one Page Size and set of margins
etc for score, and another for parts. I can make a template that
holds all these parameters, but when I create a score with the Wizard
(based on the Maestro Font Default file) the Page Format for Parts
information is lost.
In my opinion it would be of great benefit if the Page Format for
Parts, as defined in the Default file, could be maintained when the
Wizard builds a score.
The Wizard uses the default template, not any settings you can adjust
for each file from the Options/DocumentSettings dialogue.
If you want your Page Format for Parts to show up in Wizard-created
documents, you need to edit, then resave under the same name, the
default template for whichever font you are using.
At least that's how I understand things work.
My understanding (on FinMac 2005b, anyway) is that the Wizard gets its
page sizes from "pagesizes.txt" which is a file in the Component Files
folder. You can edit it in a text editor to make sure that YOUR
favourite page is formatted correctly. I changed the left margin from
288 EVPU to 144 EVPU to match the other three margins when printing
8.5x11.
