Just to be clear: my plugin depends on all the built-in Finale features described in this thread. It just takes them one step further to providing automatic page-level positioning (per part/score). So you create a text expression more or less as described by J.D. Thomas and jef chippewa. But in addition you mark it (using among others the Description) as described in my link. That allows my program to (for example) horizontally center it on the page in every score or part whilst leaving it vertically where it is.
I can't tell you how much this extra step has removed a headache from my Finale-using life.
