Page View

 

Page View is one of three Finale views of your music (the others are Scroll View and Studio View). See View Menu. In Page View, you see your music exactly as it will be printed: laid out in systems, displaying page-attached as well as measure-attached text blocks and graphics, and stretching the measures as needed so that each line of music is flush with the margins.

Page View has a few features of its own, accessible from the View Menu.

Any visible page can be edited, and markings can be dragged or extended from one page to another at will.

Page View also offers a feature called Show PostScript Preview (View > Show > PostScript Preview). When you choose this command, Finale “prints” the actual PostScript instructions onto your screen, just as it would to a laser printer. See Show PostScript Preview.

In general, Page View is slightly slower than Scroll View. Each time the screen redraws, for example, Finale not only has to draw more music, but must also perform many more calculations (to lay out the page, for example).
