The fact is, Finale behaves differently in this regard on Mac and Windows. Finale could do exactly the same thing on Windows and there wouldn't be any file association problems. MacFin could do it the Windows way and it would still work (because there's metadata not just a file extension). I have a hard time understanding why the Mac way you describe is not used in Windows, to be honest! -- David W.
