What it does

The Tracking dialog box allows you to control the amount of horizontal space, in em’s, that Finale should leave between characters for the selected text.

• Amount. Enter the amount (in em’s) of horizontal space, in em’s, that Finale should leave between characters for the selected text. One em is equivalent to 1/1000 of the point size. Em’s are proportional measurement units; if you increase or decrease the point size of the text, Finale adjusts the distance between characters accordingly, keeping the same proportional distance, relative to the new font size.
• OK • Cancel. Click OK to confirm your settings and return to the score. Click Cancel to return to the score.
