Ledger lines
Ledger lines appear automatically in Finale
whenever you enter a note that requires them. In addition, any tool that
performs a staff- or measure-related function automatically draws ledger
lines as you move the cursor, letting you know which staff you’re attached
to. See also Ledger
Lines (Hide) Plug-in, Ledger Lines (Show) Plug-in.
