View menu

How to get there

The View menu is one of Finale’s unchanging menus.

What it does

This menu contains commands pertaining to your view of the document. You can never change the document itself with the commands in this menu—only modify the way you see it on the screen

For example, you can change the size of the displayed music, hide staves, or alternate between one of Finale's three main views (Page, Scroll, and Studio View).

Page view offers several Page View Styles, which allow you to arrange the pages in a horizontal row, a column, or display a single page at a time.

If you press CTRL while choosing the View menu, the Select Staff Set submenu changes to Program Staff Set, indicating that you’re ready to program a new staff or tool set.
