To change
default page margins numerically
Note: The changes
you’ll be making with these instructions establish the page margins for
pages yet to be created. To apply them to existing pages, see the final
two steps.
- From the Document menu, choose Page Format,
then Score. The Page Format for Score dialog box appears.
- Enter new values in the Page Margins boxes.
These numbers are the distances from the edge of the page; thus if the
page size changes, the margins remain at the same distance from the page
edge. These measurements are always positive and measure the absolute
distance from the edge of the page.
- Click OK (or press return).
The changes you’ve made will affect only new pages added to the piece
by Finale, unless you perform one of the following additional steps.
- To apply the new margin settings to one existing
page, click the Page Layout Tool ; and go to the page
you want to change; Click on the Page Layout menu and choose Redefine
Pages, then Current Page.
- To apply the new margins to all existing pages,
click on the Page Layout menu, choose Redefine Pages, then Redefine All
Pages.
