Finale Problems

So, I've been having some problems with finale lately. For some reason playback hasn't been working right, but luckily I arrange songs in musescore, so that's not too much of a problem. The real problem I'm having is one-measure systems. I've searched in every single spot on finale and I can't find a way to fix it. I have finale notepad 2012, which I know is an older version that doesn't have all the features of finale, but I'm pretty sure it should still have a way to fix one-measure systems. Does anyone know if that can be fixed in my version of finale? And if it can't, can someone who has the full version of finale help me out?

If you're exporting from MuseScore it's very easy to format measure distribution.

Apparently, I didn't notice that the measures were like that in musescore. I still can't figure out how to do it there either, though. Can you tell me? I'll continue looking for it. Never mind, I figured it out.

Although, I still can't figure out how to add measure numbers. I know they are in my musescore file, but they're not transferring over to finale. When they talk about beginner's luck, don't believe them. They're LYING!

Measure numbers just... don't. They refuse. (Although with some XML magic you could probably get them over)

You're are being very not helpful. Do you know how to fix the problem or are you just agreeing with my complaints? I really just want to finally have my arrangement submitted, but the formatting's all wrong.

wow way to be a jerk at someone who's at least trying to be optimistic for you, jesus christ

You can't format a MuseScore export 100% (I like to get as close as I can). Only XML magic can perform what you want. Just get it formatted at the dedicated help thread (or have cool friends with Finale).

You're right. I didn't intend to be rude. I apologize for what I said. I didn't intend for that to be critical towards him. I'm not good with words and mine are often taken in a different way than I mean.

WaluigiTime64:
Thanks. I do sincerely appreciate your help. Sorry if I was being a bit of a jerk before.
