Some Finale users have more complex notation needs than others. That makes sense: I would imagine that someone creating avant garde 21st century notation would push notational boundaries more than someone creating a traditional string quartet or big band score.
A few weeks ago I shared the steps I used to create some Kodály solfège notation with Finale for a music educator I met in Boston.

While the specifics vary, this is the kind of notation that Kodály instructors use on a regular basis.
Yesterday I spoke of a number of improvements that are free in Finale 2010a, but I indicated that I saved a nice surprise for my music educator friends.
