Excellent point, David! Most of what MakeMusic is changing place in Finale is supposed to make it EASIER to find. This seems to be an exception.

Re: [Finale] Initial view
Isn't the Preferences, program options, new document windows where you set the opening page view option: scroll, page or studio view? I usually miss something, so, please be kind when you correct me!

But it's not called New Document Windows (at least Finale2008 on Windows machines) -- perhaps if it were, it would be a more logical place to look for what was asked about. But it's simply called New which for many computer users implies new file. Perhaps the easiest way to avoid the confusion is for MakeMusic to relabel that tab New Document Windows instead of New. -- David H.
