The “Nudge” Keys (Arrow Keys)

Click the “Vivace” mark’s handle and press the left arrow key. The Vivace marking moves just a pixel (screen dot) to the left. You may have to look very closely to see it move at all. You can continue to reposition any marking whose handle is selected by pressing the up, down, left, and right arrows.

These four arrow keys—the directional arrows—will cause tiny positioning changes on almost any Finale object whose handle is selected, including staves, chord symbols, lyrics, parts of triplet brackets, Expressions, and Articulations.
