Select a page number insert in a text block, then choose this command. The Page Offset dialog box appears, where you can enter a number to add to Finale’s current page number.

Add to Current Page Number. If you start a movement in a new file, you might want to start numbering the first page of the new file at page 5; in this case enter 4 in the text box (page 1 of the current file, plus 4 pages offset). To number pages using the current page number (Finale’s page number), do not change the Page Offset number (it should be zero).
