I’ve read the suggested similar articles and they don’t seem to address my problem. I imported my first file from Finale yesterday and discovered that the text boxes in my my score (composer, arranger, copyright, A and B section markers, the note I put at the bottom of the score saying when I last modified it… etc. did not come over. I have successfully put them in using tokens (?) for some and text for others, but doing this manually for hundreds of files is daunting. Am I missing something?
Yes, fortunately you’re missing the library manager!
I suppose you want to change the First page template so that all that information you mention (all those tokens and how the should appear, place, size, etc) is there. The library manager can sync any file with another, you choose which options/settings you want to change. Only problem (so far): you cannot batch process files. So changing hundreds of files is going to be quite painful (but seriously not as much as modifying everything by hand!!!)
Thanks. At least now I know where to start experimenting.

Are you familiar with the page templates? If not, there would be the best place to start.
Eric, it may be that the text you’re talking about is not included in the MusicXML files exported from Finale, but more likely is that Dorico is not managing to import it. Check that the Text items checkbox is activated on the MusicXML import page of Preferences.
I’d be interested to see the original Finale project and the MusicXML file, if you wanted to zip them up and attach the archive here.
