To Richard Yates observation:
>Finale file. There are some limitations of Finale text formatting,
Aaron Sherber elaborated:
That's rather an understatement. <g> As best as I can tell, Finale does not let you do tabs, adjust paragraph leading,
True. My workaround: select a point size that will give the spacing between paragraphs you desire, and add place a space in thjat point size on the line between the paragraphs.
or automatically insert smart (i.e., curly) quotes.
My Workaround: Alt-0147 (“) and Alt-0148 (”)
And that's just for starters. I know that people have reported doing extensive word processing in Finale, but for me it would be like trying to typeset average complexity music with Maestro in Word.
I can't speak with any authority about Word, as I've never used it, but I did once have a "I wonder what would happen if..." moment where I tried to use Maestro, Sonata, and a couple of other music fonts in WordPerfect, and I can report that it is definitely much easier use text layout in Finale, than to do music layout in Wordperfect.
