The more I use the Score Manager, the more outraged I become. The inability to drag staves to a different order is one I recently discovered. It is a completely artificial limitation, nonexistent in versions before Fin12, and still just a UI limitation even now.
But this is the tip of the iceberg. Much more irritating is the capricious adding, changing, removal of staff groups, the willful changing of the Show Measure Numbers setting for staves, and the perverse addition or removal of staves when I change a (particularly percussion) staff from one instrument to another. This is supposed to be an improvement? Finale is getting to be as bad as MS Word about AssUMe-ing that it knows what I want it to do. It's great when it is right but downright infuriating when it isn't, which seems to be quite a lot.
