Document Options-Notes and Rests

 

How to get there

From the Document Menu, choose Document Options and select Notes and Rests.

What it does

This dialog box contains options for choosing specific characters for note and rest durations. Also specify rest positioning and the amount of space before and after each barline in your document.

Finale's default colors are based on the Chroma-Notes™ Colored Music System for use with Boomwhackers® Tuned Percussion Tubes. (See Boomwhackers® Tuned Percussion Tubes / Chroma-Notes™ Instruments for details). To customize a pitch's color, click its corresponding button to open the Color dialog box where you can select a new color. Click Reset Colors to revert to Finale's default notehead color settings.
