To answer the question:
If you export an EPS file from Finale, you can import it directly
into Pages using cmd-shift-V (the shortcut for placing graphic
files), but Pages will internally convert the EPS to PDF format
before placing it in the document.
I personally have no problem with this, but I suppose hardcore EPS
users might. I personally have zero use for EPS -- ever since Finale
2004, I've used PDFs exclusively.

Thanks Dick, but that doesn't really answer it. There's a big
difference
between a .ps file and an .eps file. To make an eps you would be in
the
graphics tool. Choose Export Pages, select eps as the type, select
Include
PICT preview, and save the page(s). Each page would be a separate
eps file.
You may (or may not) then be able to import into Pages just as you
would a
jpeg or pdf.

I'm in Pages (not Pages 2), but I just saved a document from Finale
(2007c) from the fine menu and chose "compile post script listing".
I kept the default option to "save fonts" or what ever that is.
The resulting file (with a "ps" extension) was converted into a PDF
when I just dragged it into a new Pages document. It was very small,
but resized with the handles without any apparent (to me) degradation
in quality.
If I try to "open" the "ps" file in Pages, I get an "unknown type"
error.
So I guess the answer as far as Pages is concerned, is no, you can't
import eps files. Don't know if Pages 2 would react differently.

That would be a killer for me too. But while we're on the subject,
can Pages
import eps files? I saw other formats mentioned, tiff, pdf and so
forth, but
no mention of eps.
