Text

A text block can be almost any piece of text: a note to the conductor, a page of dialogue, performance instructions, or an extra verse of lyrics, for example. You can place block text, in any font and size, anywhere in the score.

Text blocks created in Scroll View and text blocks created in Page View are behave differently. Finale assigns a text block to a measure if you are in Scroll View when the text block is created. To create a page-assigned text block, you must be in Page View.

  3. Type the text directly into the score without dragging to create a frame. Press RETURN to start a new line. The frame expands horizontally and vertically to accommodate the text you enter.

  2. Double-click the document window, and drag to create a rectangle to accommodate your text. An editing frame of the size you create appears, with a flashing cursor to indicate the insertion point.

    A double dashed line indicates that the frame is a fixed size; it will not expand as you type.

  3. Enter the text you want displayed. The words wrap when you reach the side of the frame.

    The placement of the text within the frame—left, center, or right—depends on the Justification option(s) selected in the Text menu.

Resizing and positioning text blocks

  1. Choose the Text tool . The Text menu appears.

  4. Under Alignment and Positioning, set the positioning:
    • Enter a value in the H text box for the distance to position the text block horizontally from the upper-left of the staff associated with the measure. A larger value moves text to the right; a smaller value to the left.
    • Enter a value in the V text box for the distance to position the text block vertically from the upper-left of the staff associated with the measure. A larger value moves text down; a smaller value up.
  5. Click OK to confirm your settings and return to the document.

When you change the horizontal or vertical page alignment, Finale clears any manual positioning that was done in the score, and resets the H: or V: settings, respectively, to the new position.

  1. If you're not already in Page View, choose View > Page View.
  2. Choose the Text tool . The Text menu appears.
  3. Click a text block handle, then choose Text > Frame Attributes. Or, SHIFT+double-click a text block handle. The Frame Attributes dialog box appears.
  4. Use the Alignment and Positioning settings to position the text block.
    • From the Horizontalpopup menu, choose Left to place the text block on the left edge or margin of the page; choose Center to center it between the left and right edges or margins; or choose Right to align it on the right edge or margin.
    • From the Verticalpopup menu, choose Top (Header) to place the text block on the top edge or margin of the page; choose Center to center it between the top and bottom edges or margins; or choose Bottom (Footer) to align it on the bottom edge or margin.
    • From the Position Frompopup menu, choose Page Margin to have Finale calculate the text block’s position starting from the page margin; or choose Page Edge to have Finale measure the text block’s position starting from the edge of the page.
    • Enter values into the H and V text boxes for the distance to position the text block horizontally and vertically on the page, respectively.

    The Horizontal, Vertical, and Position from options in the Alignment and Positioning group box are only available when you select Attach to: Page.

  5. Click OK to confirm your settings and return to the document.

If you’re using running headers or footers in your score, you might want to position a text block in the header or footer near the “outside” edges or margins (the left or right edges, respectively) of each left-facing (even-numbered) or right-facing (odd-numbered) page, as opposed to always positioning the text block in the same place on every page. This is easily done using special positioning settings for right-facing pages in the Frame Attributes dialog box; follow the steps outlined here.

  2. Choose the Text tool . The Text menu appears.
  3. Click a page-assigned text block handle, then choose Text > Frame Attributes. Or, SHIFT+double-click a page-assigned text block handle. The Frame Attributes dialog box appears.

  5. Under Right Page Alignment and Positioning, select Use Right Page Positioning.
  6. Use the following settings to place the text block differently on right-facing (odd-numbered) pages:
    • From the Horizontalpopup menu, choose Left to place the text block on the left edge or margin of the right-facing page; choose Center to center it between the left and right edges or margins; or choose Right to align it on the right edge or margin.

      Finale resets the H setting to zero so that the left, right, or center of the text block is aligned horizontally with the page edge or margin.

    • Enter values into the H and V text boxes to position the text block horizontally and vertically on right-facing pages, respectively.
  7. Click OK to confirm your settings and return to the document.
