Abstract: We continue the study of finite BRST-antiBRST transformations for general gauge theories in Lagrangian formalism initiated in [arXiv:1405.0790[hep-th]], with a doublet $lambd{a}_a$, $a=1,2$, of anticommuting Grassmann parameters, and find an explicit Jacobian corresponding to this change of variables for constant $lambd{a}_a$. This makes it possible to derive the Ward identities and their consequences for the generating functional of Green's functions. We announce the form of the Jacobian [proved to be correct in [arXiv:1406.5086[hep-th]] for finite field-dependent BRST-antiBRST transformations with functionally-dependent parameters, $lambd{a}_a\mathrm{\%}=s_{a}Lambda$, induced by a finite even-valued functional $Lambda(phi,pi,lambda)$ and by the generators $s_a$ of BRST-antiBRST transformations acting in the space of fields $phi$, antifields $ph{i}_a^{ast}$, $$ and auxiliary variables $p{i}^a,lambda$. On the basis of this Jacobian, we solve a compensation equation for $Lambda$, which is used to achieve a precise change of the gauge-fixing functional for an arbitrary gauge theory. We derive a new form of the Ward identities containing the parameters $lambd{a}_a$ and study the problem of gauge-dependence. The general approach is exemplified by the Freedman--Townsend model of a non-Abelian antisymmetric tensor field.
