Hmm. I could have sworn that this one from John Witmer was the original post.
But anyway, I would certainly welcome an easy solution, regardless. Especially
involving multi-movement works with linked parts. But also single-page songs
for a songbook.

Staff styles are placed wrong after merging.

Actually, I'm the OP. But the 200 individual files is not my use case. If
had that one I would probably go the pdf processing route too.

The OP has 200 individual songs to include in a book. That means 200 titles,
200 lyricist/composer fields to enter and position, and possibly copyright info
or text boxes with instructions.
The computer can put all the individual PDFs into one PDF file and number them
automatically, with no ext
FWIW:
If you make sure that both (all) file you are merging have the exact same
staff list and staff properties, then Score Merger works pretty well. This
is likely if all the files came from the same template. Otherwise it may
take some messing with.
So far what I've found that it messes up is:
Because collating and processing are what computers are for. I'd rather
spend my time writing a program to massage the files than constantly
collating and processing by hand. Which is what I've done.

Not to start one… but why?

Linked parts is the biggest reason I want to combine them. Versus the

100% don't do this in Finale.
Sort page numbers in Finale. Easiest to make L and R pages the same. Print to
PDF. On mac you can open all the pdfs together, order them, then print to PDF
with them all selected.

Hello John.
Instead of using Finale to combine the files, with all the troubles that can
cause, how about print the files to PDF, using numbers 011-200 in order you
want the songs to be, and then combine the PDFs into one file.
Is there a reason you want to combine the Finale files?

Hi John,
Does Pagemaker still exist? I always use this programme for lots of things
but the version I had would not work on later versions of windows and I was
unable to find an upgrade.
Cheers,

John,
What I would certainly do in your case is print them to PDF without page
numbers, then compile the individual pages into one PDF with a PDF editor that
can add page numbers (there are many free or cheap ones).

Robert,
I need your advice. I'm in the process of completing a 200 song compendium
using Finale 2014.5 When it is finished, (I promised it would be ready "early"
in 2017), I'll need to merge the individual charts for a single document. This
is for the sole use of a retirement community, but the
