You are here: Encyclopedia > G > Graphics > Positioning page-assigned graphics on left- and right-facing pages (Graphic Attributes dialog box)
If you’re using running headers or footers
in your score, you might want to position a graphic in the header or footer
near the “outside” edges or margins (the left or right edges, respectively)
of each left (even-numbered) or right (odd-numbered) page, as opposed
to positioning the graphic in the same place on every page. This is easily
done using special positioning settings for right-facing (odd-numbered)
pages in the Graphic Attributes dialog box.
- Choose View > Page View.
- Choose Window >
Advanced Tools. Click the Graphics
Tool
. The Graphics
menu appears.
- Click to select a page-assigned graphic, then
choose Graphics > Attributes. Or, double-click a page-assigned
graphic.
- Use the Alignment and Positioning settings
to position the graphic on every left-facing (even-numbered) page in the
selected page range. See To
position page-assigned graphics (Graphic Attributes dialog box).
- Select Use Right Page Positioning to place
the graphic differently on right-facing (odd-numbered) pages.
- Position the graphic horizontally on right-facing
pages. Choose Left from the Right Page Alignment and Positioning:
Horizontal drop-down list to place the graphic on the
left edge or margin of the right-facing page; choose Center to center
it between the left and right edges or margins; or choose Right to align
it on the right edge or margin. (Finale resets the Right Page Alignment
and Positioning: H: setting to zero so the left, right, or center of the
graphic is aligned horizontally with the page edge or margin.)
- Set the positioning distance. Enter
values into the H: and V: text boxes in the Right Page Alignment and Positioning
group box for the distance to position the graphic horizontally and vertically
on right-facing pages, based on the Right Page Alignment and Positioning:
Horizontal setting, and the Vertical and Position from selections in
the Alignment and Positioning group box.
- Click OK to confirm your settings.
