default unit of measure?
Greetings
is there a way to set default units of measure? Page settings (layout) keeps defaulting back to mm next time I open a score. I click inch, edit margins etc. But this only lasts for the session. I didn't see anything for this in Preferences.
Thank you,

No, there isn't. The Units are neither stored in Preferences nor in the Score. Or rather: they are stored in mm, and only for display converted

The more's the pity. Where do I go to suggest this for the next update? It's tiresome to have to change from mm to inches for each new file.

I agree, this needs to be an option.

Curious, though, why you would need to do this? If it's to set margins etc, why not just save the margins you like as a template or a style file?

Because I change margins for different purposes for the same and similar scores. And because I found it hard to remember which style did what when I tried styles. Major nuisance to flip through styles to see which comes close to what I need for a particular situation. Then tweak again to fix something. MUCH faster and simpler for me just to set layout margins and other settings as needed.
I have Decades of default prefs setting, layout and macro coding experience in word processing, database and spreadsheet apps, But for those more comfortable with styles, go for it!
I wish this were possible. I detest working in mm. I'd rather work in picas than mm!
