This takes me right back to my first efforts with Finale (version 2.5 I think it was called, way back in 1994!). At that point I had never even used Windows before, so had no appropriate vocabulary at all for looking things up! Finding the Finale mailing list was wonderful, especially as (still the case) I could ask a question just before going to bed in England and often catch a kind U.S. expert who would have an answer waiting for me by breakfast time. :) After all those years with earlier versions of Finale I have got better at guessing what might be useful search terms, but the 2000-2014 gap is proving a serious challenge. Thanks again.
