Actually, what would be the best of all, and would allow all of us to

and gentle folks at MakeMusic to simply include an extra option in
Program Options, called "Edit Instrument.txt" and another one called
"Edit Ensembles.txt" which would in an organized, columnar table allow
us to change, add, delete, and otherwise edit those two files, without
having to get into a text editor and muck around with it the way we do
now.
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 know we can edit it in any text editor, but my point is that we
shouldn't have to. There should be such a capability from within
Finale. That way the program could have ways to check our possible
errors, and would guarantee that every entry was made exactly correctly
without some missing semi-colon or something.
