Re: [Finale] PDF export and placed graphics

[Johannes Gebauer]

Whatever the case, in my original mail I gave a workaround which works 
well, so I have no need for a PDF exporter.

In fact, PDF exporters are a hassle, because they export the whole page, 
I only need musical examples.

Re: [Finale] Changing default page layout

[Lawrence Yates]

Thanks for your help regarding default files.

It seems that there are two default files - one is in "defaults" - this one
changes the "new file" default.

The other is under "document styles" and this is the one I missed - it
changes the defaults when new files are created using the setup wizard.

Thanks again to all who responded.
