Just a reminder that "Compile Postscript Listing" on earlier versions of Finale Windows did not export the graphics embedded in the score. That may have changed. I don't know because I haven't used Compile recently because (at least with FinWin 2011) printing to PDF works correctly on screen displays and produces compact files.
