Open any document and make the desired settings. For example, if you plan to compose a multimovement horn piece, you might add some horn staves and create a horn quintet template. When you’ve setup your score, from the File menu, choose Save. Name the file and save it to the Finale 2011/Music Files/Templates folder (see Finale Installation Details for the exact location). Then, when you want to use the file, from the File menu, choose New > Document from Template, and double-click to open the file. To open a file as a template, you must choose New > Document From Template from the File menu. In fact, in Macintosh, you can open any file as a template as long as you first choose Document From Template. Using File > Open, will not create a duplicate file, and will save over the original file when you choose Save from the File menu.
