The logic flaws already pointed out in the existing entries in those files, to say nothing about the U.S.-centric terminology or about the omissions, are merely another reason why I never use the Setup Wizard. But if I could easily change things to match what I work with mostly, and make it easy to add new entries, all from within Finale, I might actually begin using that thing.

Actually, you can easily edit the Instrument.txt using any text editor. The problem is if you make a mistake! I haven't bothered to try yet, but now I mentioned it and have time...

i have already proposed this to MM (you should too!); with new "features" added with many versions, it is not impossible but a serious PITA to upgrade an existing instrument.txt file... i edited many of the names and abbreviations years ago, for example, so i can't just use the new file that comes with a new versions.
