To move staves

1. Click the Staff Tool  . The Staff menu appears and handles appear on every staff.
2. Select the staff or staves to be moved.
3. To move a staff or staves, drag the handle of one of the selected staves. Finale adjusts the staves differently, depending on whether you’re in Scroll or Page View, whether Special Part Extraction is selected in the Edit menu, and whether the staff systems were optimized using Page Layout Tool. For details, see Staff Tool.

Note: If a staff system has been optimized using the Page Layout Tool, two handles will appear on each staff in the optimized staff system in Page View. Drag the bottom staff handle to adjust the staff’s position only in the current staff system in Page View (drag the top handle to adjust the position of the staff in all staff systems in Page View). The position of the staff in Scroll View is unchanged.
