Yeah, I forgot about that limitation in Finale, and I wish they’d do something about it.
What you have to do to make things easier for you is to lay out each example your want to import into your new document on its own page. Save the Finale file under a new name to keep your old formatted on intact. It’s not all that difficult; you just need to plan ahead do to Finale’s limits. *************************** J D Thomas ThomaStudios > On Apr 20, 2016, at 12:07 PM, g5gb sge5 <toro...@gmail.com> wrote: > > Thanks.
