Thanks for joining the forum. Is there a specific issue you are having with the templates or Finale?

It is important to review the ReadMe documentation for installing the templates and supporting files.

The locations are at the bottom of page 7 and on to page 8. Windows 10 is similar to the Windows versions mentioned. You will also need to located some hidden folders. The steps for unhiding those folders can be found with a Google search. There is also information in this link https://forum.thewritescore.com/index.php?topic=708.0 (https://forum.thewritescore.com/index.php?topic=708.0) . The link is for a post in this forum.

I'm not certain I understand. Are you saying that the hidden folder does not appear after you unhide them or that after you unhide them that the copied files don't appear?

The process should be to unhide the folders, copy the files, and then paste them into the folders as listed in the ReadMe.

C:\Documents and Settings\(your account)\Application Data\MakeMusic\Finale 2014

This is a path to where the folders are located so that you can copy files from the template package and paste them in the correct locations.
