[Finale] Mac setting .mus to open with Fin12

2014-09-18 Thread Robert Patterson
I would like to force all .mus files to open with Fin12 as default (leaving .musx to open in Fin14). The Finder Get Info window seems to want to offer this feature, and it works on a case-by-case basis when I choose Open with-Finale 2012.app. But when I then select Change All... it perversely

Forget it. I've tried this too many times to remember I'm afraid. Something about Finale steadfastly refuses to honor that request at any level. Abobe Acrobat Pro does the same thing on my Mac, altho more surreptitiously. My only way around is the cntl-click on a file. Major PITA. Sorry.

Hi all, FinWin2014. For those following this saga, I ended up having to create a parts score because the independent time sigs cause all the spacing to go haywire. This project is at the end and everything is due tonight. Issue 1 I have a problem with staff naming in this rather messy set of
