Adding measures

Although this tutorial has the right number of measures, there will undoubtedly come a time when you need to add more. This can be done in several ways. First of all, if you are using the Simple Entry Caret, Finale will automatically add a measure when you fill the last measure of the score. Therefore, you can simply continue entering notes and Finale will create the measures for you. (Remember, this is unchecked right now). You can also use the Edit menu to add measures at any time. To do this, from the Edit menu, choose Add Measures. In the Add Measures dialog box that appears, type in the number of measures to be added, and click OK. To add a single measure, just double-click the Measure Tool.

Note that as you add measures, the final barline will move to the last measure of the score.

To delete measures, click on the Selection Tool, double-click to select a measure stack, then press Delete.
