Can someone point me to where the the Manuscript Textures for Finale 25 are held?

In earlier versions it was easy to find in the related Programs Files (x86) folder but I can't find a folder for Finale 25 with these textures. Strangely, there are alot more manuscript textures for Finale 2012 than for 2014. The ability to use them is still in Finale 25 but trying to add one leads me to the Finale Music folder.

Cheers
Ken

They are in the same (relative) place as they were in Finale 2014: C:\\Program Files > Finale > Resources > Manuscript Textures.

You can copy the files from earlier versions and drop them in this folder.

The location for manuscript textures is, as Ron says, at "C:\Program Files\Finale\Resources".  Note that since F25 is 64 bit, it is found in the 64 bit directory tree under "Program Files" and is simply called "Finale".  Also, for me, there is no "Manuscript Textures" folder pre-defined.  There is nothing saying you can't create one and place any texture files you have from previous versions of Finale in the directory.

Oh, I must have created one, though I don't remember doing so. (Not an uncommon occurrence at my age.)

OK. So something went screwy with my installation as the Program Files/Finale/Resources did not contain the Manuscript Textures or Backgrounds folders. Can't wait to find what else was missed.

I don't tink anything went "screwy." I think that, for whatever reason, MM did not include the manuscript textures folder and files with the Finale 25 version.
