Transporting files across platforms

Starting with Finale 2002a, files can be transferred across platforms while maintaining correct higher ASCII text characters, such as è, ö, and hard spaces (commonly used in lyrics). Finale is configured to do this by default, by having Automatically Convert Text In Files From Other Operating Systems selected in the Open section of the Preferences dialog box.

It is essential that the MacSymbolFonts.txt file be placed in the application folder for both Windows and Mac users (note that in spite of its title, this is a required file for Windows). This user-editable text file contains the names of all the Mac fonts that are symbol fonts and therefore do not need to be converted (as opposed to text fonts which will be converted). For more details (including where to find the application folder), see Configuring MacSymbolFonts.txt.
