[Finale] part/score name insert

I’ve asked this before and tried the suggestions and put in a support request… but maybe someone has sussed it. Input name for Score in Score Manager. Create text box with Part/Score name insert. Lovely! Close file. Text box and insert gone. Actual name for score in Score Manager also gone. Arghh

Re: [Finale] Finale Digest, Vol 136, Issue 16

I do a lot of sight-reading too, including an increasing amount of stuff printed for audition from the internet in keys like E#.. Cautionarys without parentheses cause my eyes to skip back and check the key or the previous accidental . My preference is: If the note is changed by the accidental,
