Default template file by Benjamin Tubb:
I'm attaching my "default" template file for Finale 2001d which includes my custom settings for some articulations, instruments, expressions, and several drum percussion map libraries, all within my "standard" song file template. Note that I use the Hide Staff Style for the first measure for my setup of initial controller values too, an idea "inspired" by Sibelius, and an overal more versatile "workaround" for Finale.
