Yes, I forgot to mention that in my question, but it's something I noticed too. Do you mean that my complaints about a lack of a figured bass script or tool will go unheeded.
I've never used the booklet script that's been talked about before, where is that located in Finale? What options?
Thanks so much Mr. Patterson!

So far, the comments on this thread have glossed over one of the annoyances of combining movements into a single file: abbreviated staff names. For a large instrumentation it is *really* annoying.
To get full instrument names at the beginning of movements after the first, you have to override each instrument name with a staff style whose "abbreviated" staff name is actually the full staff name. For a large instrumentation this is a true pain in the patootie.
Even so, I think combining is the way to go, but I recommend complaining to MM about the lack of a way to turn Full Names back on for a particular bar. I have a feeling that now might be a really good time to send this complaint, too.
Another step I haven't noticed mentioned is the need to set "Hide Cautionary Keys and Clefs" in the last bar of each movement. This setting has a small glitch (at least as of Fin05) that if the extracted part ends on a multimeas rest, you have to set the bit on the first bar of the multimeas rest. When I reported this problem to MM, I was astounded to be told that this was how it ought to work. One reason I've quit reporting bugs to them.
