To
assign a graphic to a measure
Occasionally you may want to change a page-based
assigned graphic to a measure-assigned graphic so it moves with the measure
instead of remaining at a fixed position on the page. To assign a graphic
to a measure when first placing it into the score, place the graphic in
Scroll View. (See “To
place graphics into the score” for details.)
- From the Window menu, choose
Advanced Tools. Click the Graphics
Tool . The Graphics
menu appears.
- Click to select the graphic, then choose Attributes
from the Graphics menu. Or, double-click the graphic you’re adjusting.
The Graphic Attributes dialog box appears.
- Click to select Attach to: Measure, if it isn’t
already selected. In the Measure text box, enter the number of the measure
you want the graphic assigned to.
- From the Staff drop-down
list, choose the name of a staff you want associated
with the measure-assigned graphic. Finale will align and position
the graphic in relation to this staff.
Note: Finale will
only display the graphic on the page the measure appears on when you’re
in Page View. If your measure layout changes, the graphic will move with
the measure.
- Use the H: and V: settings in the Graphic Attributes
dialog box to adjust the graphic’s position in the score, then click OK.
