Staff Tool: Staff handles in Page View

When you click the Staff Tool in Page View, Finale automatically displays one or two handles on each staff. Drag the top staff handle (or single handle, if only one appears) to adjust the staff's global position: Finale adjusts the spacing for every staff system in the piece. If Special Part Extraction is off (unchecked in the Document menu), Finale adjusts the position of the staff in Scroll View as well. If Special Part Extraction is on (checked in the Document menu), Finale only adjusts the position of the staff in Page View, leaving the positioning of the staves in Scroll view untouched.

If you've optimized a staff system, two handles appear on each staff in the optimized staff system. Drag the bottom handle to adjust the position of the staff in the current staff system only.
