Space Systems Evenly dialog box
How to get there
- Click the Page Layout tool
. The Page Layout menu appears.
- Choose Page Layout > Space Systems Evenly.
What it does
The Space Systems Evenly command, which
displays this dialog box, lets you specify which pages to space evenly,
whether to allow systems to move from one page to another, and when to
skip spacing a partially-empty page. Finale will move the systems so that
they are evenly spaced between the top and bottom margins of the page.
- Space
Systems Evenly on: Current Part or Score • Selected Parts/Score • All
Parts • All Parts and Score; Select. Choose Current Part or Score
to apply changes to the score or part that is currently active in the
document window. Choose Selected Parts/Score and click Select to open
the Select Parts/Score dialog box where you can choose to apply changes
to any combination of the score and/or parts. Choose All parts to apply
changes to all parts and All Parts and Score to apply changes to the full
project - all parts and the score.
- Space
Systems Evenly on: Page _ only • All Pages • Page Range: From __ Through
__. Select Page only to space
that page only. Click All Pages to space every page in the document. In
the Page Range boxes, specify the range of pages you want spaced.
- Place __ Systems
on Each Page. Enter the number of systems you want Finale to place
on each page.
- Place
Maximum Number of Systems on Each Page. Choose this option to tell
Finale to automatically adjust systems
from page to page in order to fit each page with the maximum number of
systems while spacing them evenly.
- Do
Not Change the Number of Systems on Each Page. Choose this option
to leave the same number of systems on each page and space them evenly.
- Space
Pages More than __% Full. Enter a percentage in the text box to
control when Finale will space systems.
When the systems take up less space, Finale will leave the systems alone,
so you don’t end up with two systems and a vast white space between them.
- OK
• Cancel. Click OK (or
press enter) to return to the score where any adjustments will affect
the selected range of staff systems. Click Cancel to return to the score
without making any changes.
