Thanks for your questions, Noel, sorry I was so unclear.
The seven files are all ~.mus. They include chords, notes, repeats,
and lyrics.
Each is an individual file (not a linked part).
The file that I am printing from is also a ~.mus file. Two pages.
Dark line is on page one.
I just looked around for an option to create a ~.tif, but didn't see
it. Is that process analogous to creating a PDF from the print menu?
If so, then I can report that the PDF viewed on the screen in the Mac
app "Preview" has no line, but the printed copy does.
The line is just at the point where I've pasted a bit into the file,
as you suspect. I'll make a copy of the large file, delete that
section and check the print out and report back.

Philip said that my description sounded like a lyric word extension
error.
I've taken a look at that, Philip, thanks for the suggestion. When I
edit word extensions, I don't see anything out of sorts. In addition,
the line doesn't look like one made for word extensions. I know
that's not definitive, but it's much darker and thicker and located
below the lyrics instead of even with the bottom of them. Can't point
you to a picture, because I'd have to print, then scan and I don't
have a scanner.
The event is tonight, and I'm not going to re create the document
today, so I'll just hand out the part and apologize to the musicians
for the errant line.
Thanks again, Noel and Philip for taking the time.

I've assembled a "lead sheet" from seven other short files. Open
the small file and copy paste into the lead sheet. In one of the
songs, a horizontal line shows up only when printing. It doesn't
show up on the screen. Even if I make a PDF it doesn't show up
till I print. It's just below the lyrics of one staff and starts
with the first lyric and runs horizontally to the right page
margin. So far, I've tried the following:
Edit lyrics change style to underline; save file open file change
lyrics style to plain.
Edit lyrics, delete that song; save file open file paste in lyrics
and click assign.
select the page layout tool and increase the separation of the
systems on either side of the horizontal line.
I'm confused, again, but maybe more detail would help. What exactly
is in each of the files you are trying to cut and paste? Do you have
one Finale score file, and six or seven text files, or are you
trying to copy bits between Finale files? Are you trying to print
out a ~.mus file, or a graphics file? What happens if you export the
entire page as a ~.tif file, and view that file in image processing
software? Is the line at the point where you've pasted a bit into
the file?
