Well, they did say "in some cases ... so we provided a checkbox to
restore the previous behavior" and that says a lot about MM:
1) they did explain what they did (sometimes rare)
2) they did provide an easy way out (also sometimes rare)
3) they're not forcing the new behavior on every user (which, too, is
something rare)
A bit perverse, perhaps, but at least they did try to accomodate a wide
range of possibilities. :-)

Thank you David.
Please see my comment and re-read MM's reply below.
My hat was off to MM as soon as they came up with the prompt response to
the problem (within an hour or two on Friday - I thought I'd have to
wait over the weekend). I was so glad that I could print the parts that
I didn't take the time to recognize the confused logic in the response.
I am baffled by what seems to say, "We've changed things to 'this' way
so you can do what you need to do, but in order to do what you need to
do, please undo what we've done and go back to the old way."
Am I alone in reading the reply this way? Seems remarkably perverse.

Dear Jerry et al,
Here's MMs (prompt) response that solved the problem:
To accomodate printing score and parts at the same time with
different orientations, we now override the printer's orientation to
Finale's page orientation by default. However, there are some cases
where this is not what you want, so we added a checkbox to restore
the previous behavior where the printer orientation prevails.
Finale 2007/Program Options/Save and Print/uncheck Use Finale's Page
Orientation Instead of the Printer's Page Orientation
This is just one more of those things hidden in 2007 that we need to
learn and remember.
And my hat is off to all those noble pioneers such as Chuck who are
putting the program through its paces and sharing all this knowledge
with the rest of us!
Together we will come up with the knowledge which should have been
included in a "Befuddled by Fin2007? Read This." document. :-)
