To change the lowest fret of a region

1. Click the Selection tool and select a region of the tablature staff. See Selecting music for some region-selecting shortcuts.
2. Choose Utilities > Change > Lowest Fret. The Change Lowest Fret dialog box appears.
3. For Specify Lowest Fret, enter a fret number. This will tell Finale to place all fret numbers on the fret specified or above.
4. Click OK. Finale recalculates the fret numbers and places them on appropriate strings, all on the specified fret or above. You can also specify the lowest fret while dragging music from a standard staff into a tablature staff.
