You are here: How do I... > M > Measure numbers > Reshaping or removing a measure number’s enclosure

The Measure Number dialog box offers two ways of creating enclosures around measure numbers. If you select an Enclosure and then click Every Number, Finale places an enclosure around every number in the region.

If you select an Enclosure and then click Selected Numbers in the Measure Number dialog box, you add enclosures to one number at a time in the score, by double-clicking its handle and then clicking OK. You can both resize and remove an individual enclosure of this type.

To reshape or remove a measure number’s enclosure

  1. Click the Measure tool . Double-click the handle of an enclosed measure number. The Enclosure Designer dialog box appears, letting you reshape the enclosure and reposition the number within it.
  2. If you want to remove the enclosure, select None for the enclosure shape and click OK. You return to the document (provided that the enclosure isn’t an Every Number type).
  3. If you want to modify the enclosure, drag the top and side handles to change its height and width. Drag the number’s handle to reposition the number within the enclosure. Change the line thickness, if desired. The line thickness is measured in the current measurement units.
  4. Click OK.
