In Finale 2012 (on a Mac OS 10.9.5), I want to be able to create new files by
using “Setup Wizard” in the Launch Window. I also want to be able to save
specific setting in “Document Options”, such as lyric and text block fonts,

the wizard will ask you to set up the time/key
sigs each time you open a new doc with it though.

Let my try and clarify what I want to be able to do…
I want to be able to open up a new project in Setup Wizard and have all of my
specific settings and libraries there every time. No matter what I do, that’s
not happening for me.

in programme prefs (cmd-, on mac), in the New
tab make sure Default Document is set to use
the default template you changed (e.g., Finale

What you’re looking for is a Document Style. Create a Finale document with all
your custom settings, give it a name you’ll recognise and save it in the
Document Styles folder. You’ll find this folder in your User Library under

I apologize, I’m just getting more and more confused. What I really need is
someone to list, one step at a time, from when I open the Finale program, what
I need to do, using exactly the terminology used in Finale. Sorry I’m not
understanding this. Not sure if you’d be willing to do this
I can’t find any of those thanks to things getting screwed up when I had to get
a new computer and re-install OS software on my hard drive. My backup files
from previous computer (document styles folder) are aliases, can’t open up

your dumbputer is looking to find things on the
old machine...

Because of the problems I was having with my new computer, I had to erase my
hard drive and then re-install the system software, so there was nothing on my
hard drive. I re-installed Finale 2012 from the Make Music website, and that’s
where I am now. No document styles folder, no user library
Back up one step please…when I open up Finale, and I want to set up a new
template, what do I click on in the Launch Window? Default Document or
Templates?

in order to have both ways of creating a new doc

There’s a lesson in here for many Finale users:
* Don’t bother with editing Maestro Font Default”! *
That file is no longer used by the Setup Wizard. It is only used when you
