Encapsulated PostScript (EPS) is a computer
graphics format. Because an EPS file contains the full PostScript description
of its contents, it will print with the greatest resolution possible on
a laser printer or other PostScript device, even if it’s pasted into another
program. If you’re using Finale in conjunction with a graphics, page-layout,
or word-processing program, use this technique to transfer music from
Finale.
To create
an EPS file
Use the Export Pages or the Export Selection
commands in the Graphics Menu. See Graphics.
