Text/Justification submenu

Use these commands to specify how you want text to be justified when using the Text tool . Finale justifies all the text within a frame regardless of whether text is highlighted or not.

• Left • Right. Choose these commands to place each line of text flush with the left or right edge of the frame.
• Center. Choose this command to center each line of text between the left and right edges of the frame.
• Full. Choose this command to spread each line of text evenly between the left and right edges of the frame, except for the last line, which is always left-justified. Any line of text ending with a carriage return will also be left-justified.
• Forced Full. Choose this command to spread each line of text evenly between the left and right edges of the frame, including the last line. Lines of text ending with carriage returns will also be full-justified.
• Expand Single Word. This command is available only when Full or Forced Full is selected in the Justification submenu. Expand Single Word affects lines of text containing only one word. When selected, Finale spreads the letters of a word evenly between the left and right edges of the frame. Otherwise, all lines consisting of a single word are left-justified.
  
  

  Note that if the text is Full justified, the last line is always left-justified, even if it consists of only one word. If the text is Forced Full justified, and Expand Single Word is selected, the last line will be full-justified.
