Document styles

PrintMusic includes a collection of Document Styles you can choose while beginning new scores. A Document Style is a collection of score elements including articulations, expressions, fonts, page layout and all other document options and libraries along side the instrumentation and other settings you specify in the Setup Wizard.

To use Document Styles

Choose File > New > Document with Setup Wizard. The first page of the Setup Wizard appears.
If you would like to begin with a preset ensemble, select it in the left list box. Choose Create New Ensemble to design the instrumentation from scratch when you advance to the next page. The next page of the Setup Wizard also allows you to edit the ensemble chosen here, as well as save new custom ensembles.
Choose the desired Document Style from the list box on the right. You can change an ensemble's default Document Style by selecting a different Document Style and clicking the Always Use This Document Style with This Ensemble button. The Document Styles listed here include all files that appear in the Finale PrintMusic 2014/Music Files//Document Styles folder on your hard drive. (See PrintMusic Installation Details). PrintMusic already includes a variety of Document Styles to choose from.
Complete the Setup Wizard. The new document opens based on your settings.
