All true.
Finale (to me) feels more like a house going through major and
(seemingly) haphazard renovations while at the same time the tenants
are expected to live there and pay the rent. Great, carbuncular
structures are being grafted to it, with a lot of dust to be inhaled
then, occasionally, one finds a room with a fan going. I'm so happy!

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. :-)
