Found out how to place the jwinstrumentchange.bundle in the Plug-ins folder by means of a work-around not involving any third party commercial software.
In the window popping up from pressing cmd-F I searched Plug-ins. The wanted folder did not occur, at least in my eyes in first attempt (which tells most about my text scanning abilities). But Patterson Plug-Ins Lite came up. And the folder hierarchy for that folder is shown at the bottom of the search window, from where I could open the Plug-ins folder placed within the Finale 2012 folder. After dragging jwinstrumentchange.bundle there and stating Finale that plug in showed in the Plug-ins menu. When I tried the search again AND waited a bit the Plug-ins folder showed up itself among the listed items. As did several folder with the exact same name. Arrowing through the list shows the hierarchy (at the bottom of the window) for every single item, so that the relevant Finale 2012 Plug-ins folder can be identified and opened. I guess the semi-hidden folders are there to avoid types like myself messing too much with system elements. Problem solved. Sorry if I have posted redundant stuff. Klaus, who hadn’t arrived there without his thoughts being provoked by the list.
