The one feature that I really want is a utilities organizer... access to these
different tools has grown into an unwieldy mess.

The Utilities Menu and Finale Plugins and independent plugins and 'special
tools' -- all of which behave pretty much the same way -- could appear in one
or more docks or menus or palettes that I could organize. Finale would arrive
with the default state, but then have a kind of personal menu workspace that
could be loaded.

I end up doing things by hand because I can't find a plugin or utility that I
know is there but rarely use and whose name, location and behavior are
scattered about (like the feature to restore missing stems that I asked about
last week; I've already forgotten where that was!).

(Years ago I designed the look of a Finale UI that would actually show the
behaviors in play, like the late, great Paint Shop Pro... tool & graphical
palettes and objects status on one side with the active tool behaviors and
parameters at the bottom, and any setup savable and loadable as named
workspaces. Once set up, you never had to go near a menu. That's what I'm
talking about)
