Honestly, this reminds me a bit of Finale vs. Score discussions.
People who have invested a lot of time and effort learning how to get
good output from Score are (understandably) reluctant to admit to the
possibility that they have wasted their time, and that better options
now exist, for

I'll have to cast my lot with Andrew Stiller in this instance. If one
wants to spend the time and effort, one can adapt techniques used in
typesetting to use in Finale, and thereby produce professional text
output. While it is true, Finale lacks many features of modern page
layout software,

Use 2, 3, more aligned blocks. No, it's not hard and it's not time-consuming.

You don't need acrobat to do it, though, just google CombinePDF on mac

Okay, I figured it out. The problem is that Mac Fin continues to show

to actually spool out the Postscript (.ps) file. Then you can import

My steps are.
