Thanks to all who helped me out with this one. But: although David F. has made
a plausible case for the Finale File to be both in the general _and_ in the
user App Support folder, it seems to me to be the kind of information that
FinMac users should be told about, just in case they're brave
Hi all,
We did make a change to Finale 2011's file structure to conform to Apple's and
Windows' suggested locations, which are stored both in global and user
locations.
More information can be found in our Knowledge Base and User Manual:
does anyone on this list fit the criteria of being a cellist and

in people who are familiar with the score (and lachenmann's

It's not a Finale issue. It's an OS issue. If you know how your OS
works, this would be something you know. If you don't know that, it's
something you shouldn't even be worrying about.
Well I can assure that I know nothing about the OS. But access to the
default document of Finale is very

Couple of problems with you proclamation there..
Lets look at Microsoft Office 11 shall we. What does it do with it's files on
the Mac OS side?
In /Users/MYUSERNAME/Library/Application Support/Microsoft/Office I have a User
Templates folder which I assume that would be for me saving and
Um, it's actually NOT in the Applications folder anymore.and they are not
read only. The confusion is that MakeMusic has duplicate files in two different
Library locations. The Library on the root (or global library) and then
duplicates in the user's library...
But what do I know, I
It does seem a little troubling. What happens when you have two different
versions of something? Like say Font Annotations?
And as I pointed out, I don't see other programs following what MakeMusic
decided to do with their strange Library setup (duplicating the stuff because

You choose as your example a Microsoft program?
My point is that you basically shouldn't care about the archive
Well, that is one program that had something similar. None of the Apple iLife
programs seem to have any format like what MakeMusic is using. Nor does Avid's
ProTools. I suppose I could have used Adobe but there is so much crap installed
by Adobe CS that I can't find anything remotely like what

Yeah, but..MakeMusic decided to do it and you have to live with it. Like
how they will move menu items in new versions. Or take behaviors like the Staff
Tool and when you double click a handle it seems not to bring up the attributes
anymore.
There perhaps should be an OPTION to edit the
David,
As Justin has just kindly pointed out, this is a _new_ development in Finale's
file structure, something quite different from the previous versions, and it
would have been a _great_ help to those of us who don't always have time to
RTFM from cover to cover each time a new version comes

Just brief comments on what Bill wrote:

Yes, clearly they will be. Which MAY mean that while the mark is
technically a tie, you might have to enter it as a slur so it will

I just been asked a Finale question by a composer friend who uses Sibeliius.
Can Finale files be imported into Sibelius? And/or the other way round?
I should know this, after using Finale since Version 0.0, but I don't.
Help!

MusicXML is probably the easiest way to do it.
