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.)

To assign a graphic to a measure

1. Choose Window > Advanced Tools. Click the Graphics Tool  . The Graphics menu appears.
2. Click to select the graphic, then choose Graphics > Attributes. Or, double-click the graphic you’re adjusting. The Graphic Attributes dialog box appears.
3. 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.
4. 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.

5. Use the H: and V: settings in the Graphic Attributes dialog box to adjust the graphic’s position in the score, then click OK.
