| Posted 9/18/2016 3:27 PM (GMT -6) |   | Well, wait a minute...if I am using the marching band template to create ottavo-like parts, this does not work. Here was what I did prior to Finale 25:
1. Use the Marching Band template and customized it to within an inch of its life...I do NOT want to have to do this again.
2. When printing, I would select "Layout" and print two pages per sheet.
3. The result was exactly the right size for cutting and inserting into the standard flip folio window, I just printed an example using the exact method outlined here in 2014.5, and it is attached.
Now...if I do exactly what you are saying (and please, "check my math" here to see if I am just dumb and not comprehending):
1. I continue to use my marching band template.
2. When printing, instead of Layout in the Drop-Down options, I select the "Layout: 2-up" that is right there on the opening splash screen.
3. I tell it to ignore printer margins.
The problem is...I do NOT get the same result. I get the result that I've attached here as "MMT using 25" which is too large for flip folders.
Ok, so...I go back. This time, using Finale 25, I:
1. Use the "Layout" found in the Drop-Down options.
2. Select two pages per sheet. Print.
This now creates a completely different printout, one with much too much white space at the top. This too is unusable.
So...now I go back and try something else:
1. Use the "Layout" found in the Drop-Down options.
2. Select two pages per sheet.
3. GO BACK to the main menu and select 2-up on both of these options...of course, this is also not the desired product.
Why is it that, in Finale 25, I ABSOLUTELY CANNOT replicate the end result I can get in 2014, 2012, 2011, etc.?
This is beyond frustrating. Am I going to have to start all over from scratch on a new template because some internal setting was changed???
Setting the print settings to Portrait does not result in any difference either - I get the same exact printout as in my second scenario above.

| Posted 9/11/2016 9:25 AM (GMT -6) | | Attached are two PDF prints of the same part, one printed using Finale 2014.5, one printed using Finale 25.
The Finale 25 print is the one with all of the white space up at the top. Now, granted, in older versions the white space was pushed to the bottom, but I think most of you would agree that this is preferable to having all the white space at the top, which makes the printed part look strange.
I am hopeful that there is some setting that I am overlooking, and that it's a user error.
The other thing I am noticing with the new print dialog menu is that it sometimes remembers things I don't want it to remember. For example, no matter what I do, no matter how many times I save my file the way I want it, one of my arrangements always has Clarinet, Alto Saxophone, and Tenor Sax selected to print by default, as opposed to say, having all parts (or none) selected.
