[Finale] Opening new document - can I change page size

2014-05-11 Thread Lawrence Yates
Hi, When I use the document setup wizard to create a new file the page size default is "letter". Is there any way I can change this to A4? At the moment I have to manually change the page size every time and with my great age and weakening intellect I very often forget. To have the default as A

I am the only user of my computer yet I was told by the computer to seek advice from "the administrator" for permission to use my machine as I wished. On my laptop, using Windows 7, I had to resort to subterfuge to change the time because I didn't have permission! It's ridiculous. I have also h

In case anyone else has the same problem: The missing files problem is now sorted and, as I feared, was a Windows problem not Finale and was something to do with "permissions". I tried to copy a non-Finale file to the folder I use for Finale files and received an error message to say that I did n

Hi Gerald, Thanks for the suggestion. The point is that I should be able to see all the files when I use WE. There are ways round it and I can move the files by opening up Finale but I shouldn't have to: there's clearly something going wrong. At first I thought the problem was in Finale, maybe

Hi Noel, Thanks - just tried your suggestion - the file is not marked hidden. I also earlier tried checking the "show hidden files" box in WE but that didn't work either. I suspect that it's a Windows problem rather than Finale. I'd hoped that someone on here might have had the same problem and

There is a movement towards the use key signatures especially if the music is more modern. Modern shows and modern music tend to use them so I would suggest that you do that. Wind bands have been using key signatures for years. In extreme keys especially a key signature will make for much "clean
