My guess is that this is the source of the defaults, i.e., they were created in an age in which 300dpi printing was the norm, and thinner staff lines produced better output back then. But I'm just guessing -- the point is that a lot of the things wrong with Finale are entirely legacy issues that have simply not been revisited recently. -- David W.
