David:

You also suggested using the export option of a EPS file.
After struggling with the installation of the PS drivers, I can print
a EPS file that captures all the music, but the instrument names and
the text headers above the first system are not being embedded
properly.

I've tinkered with every possible setting when I click on the "print
set up" button. Any possible suggestions? I'd love to have a vector
format of the music for the incipit creation. I've seen a lot of talk
about bugs about printing and post script.
If it helps any: this is on a XP box and using Finale 2006.

Thank you,

Kim Patrick Clow

Finale creates a 2-bit TIFF, that is, with only 2 colors (black and
white). What you need to do is bump up the color depth. I usually
bump up to 16 million colors, then resize for output and then gray
scale it. The graphics I put up for the Dotted Slurs discussion were
made in precisely that way.

I wish the color depth of the Finale TIFFs were something you could
set, as it would make life *much* easier when exporting them.
