In Windows, for many years now, the same has been possible but for some
reason the good programmers at Finale haven't seen fit to make the two
versions identical in that regard.
There is nothing inherent in windows that forces MyMusic.mus,
MyMusic.bak, MyMusic.asv -- they could all be MyMusic.mus, MyMusic
bak.mus (or MyMusic copy.mus), and MyMusic asv.mus -- that they aren't
isn't the fault of Microsoft or of the windows operating system, but
rather it's the fault of the programmers at MM who haven't seen fit to
take advantage of the filename possibilities in Windows, yet they have
seen fit to take advantage of the file naming possibilities in MacOS.

If everything is saved in the same folder.
And since the extension is always MUS all files work with Finale directly.

[And David, Mac OS X rocks, even the Linux guys agree with that.]
If you have both turned on, you'll get:
MyMusic.mus
MyMusic.asv
MyMusic.bak
These may or may not be in the same folder as your MUS file (you can
have a separate folder for both ASV and for BAK files, configurable
in Program Options under FOLDERS, at least, it used to be there).
The backup files are for recovery when something goes wrong.
Otherwise, you can ignore them.
