Zoom dialog box

How to get there

The Zoom dialog box can be accessed in two ways:

Choose View > Zoom > Other.
Type CTRL+0.

What it does

In this dialog box, you can specify the size at which you want the score displayed on your screen, expressed as a percentage of its actual size—in other words, you can "zoom in" to magnify fine details of your score or "zoom out" if you want to see many staves at once. Note that this screen display size has nothing to do with the actual (printed) size of the music.

Scale View to: ___ %. In this text box, enter the percentage by which you want the screen display enlarged or reduced. Type 200, for example, to "zoom in" so that the music is displayed at twice its normal size.
OK • Cancel. Click OK to return to the score, where Finale displays the music at the size you specified—or Cancel to return to the score without changing the display size.

Tip: numbers larger than 100 will increase the size.

Tip: To change the size of the printed music, use the Resize tool
