Finale 25; Mac 10.13.6  High Sierra

I need to create a macro to do just ONE THING!  Finale includes a plug-in called FinaleScript but the manual is short on information on how to actually do this. I am using a Mac.

I need to change the font on a bunch of text created with the Text Tool on lots of music documents. I need to be able to highlight a paragraph or whatever, then type a macro that will tell Finale to scroll through the pop-up window of font choices to pick the one I want. This is an extremely tedious process without a macro.

Farther below is a link for you to see the actual page for yourself, but here is how far I get before hitting a brick wall:

Crafting a Successful Script:

2. Create an empty script…

3. Type the commands and attributes. - Huh? - where’s the explanation how to do this?

(At the bottom of the manual on this topic in small print I see:

Finale 2014 for Windows

Plus the link includes “Finale2014Win.” Is this another part of the problem?  But maybe the recipe works for Macs as well.)

Crafting a successful script

Most of the time, you'll want to create a script that does more than execute a single command. To do so, follow this process.

To write a script combining multiple commands

1. Plan ahead. Before writing your script, make sure you know exactly what goal you want the script to accomplish. Only then can you determine the component commands that are necessary to accurately execute the required tasks. For more complex scripts, you might also want to consider the suggested Order of entry for Finale documents.Use the FinaleScript Palette's command line to try out individual commands on a dummy document. The Palette displays the name of the active document just above the command line so that you know what document is being affected when you execute a single command.
2. Create an empty script. Give your script a descriptive name, and if you want, place it in a categorized folder. If you'll be using this script often, such as to batch automate multiple documents, consider assigning it a keyboard shortcut or displaying it in the FinaleScript menu.If a script already exists that performs some of the functions you will require, you could duplicate that script with a new name and, as they say, go from there.
3. Type the commands and attributes. As you type, FinaleScript colors the text according to an automated coloring scheme to display the function of script text. Use this automatic formatting to your advantage, making sure that what you've typed actually exists in FinaleScript's vocabulary and that you don't have more than one command per line.
