Just how difficult should Finale make it to reduce the size?
Should warning bells go off if the user selects too small a
percentage?
Finale makes it easy to reduce to 10% or enlarge to 999%. At some
point, we need to have the common sense of the user (or the style
sheet of a publisher, since you have a complaint with a particular
publisher) be a part of the process, not more limits on a notation
program.

This is the first time I've heard anyone ever complain that
software was too easy!
Actually, I have complained about it for a while, and Dennis B-K, but
a local hand copyist put it the best: "Now that it is so easy that
any idiot can push the button, he does!"
You know what I mean; easy things should be easy, and hard things
should be hard. Maybe they should put a huge crank on the side of the
computer that you have to turn by hand; unusual procedures make you
break a sweat, while normal things you can give it a spin with two
fingers.
End rant.
