When you’re ready to continue 
You’ve learned some very important concepts
in this tutorial. In fact, these techniques and principles constitute
much of the editing work you’ll need to do in Finale. Here’s a quick review
of what you’ve covered, in order:
- Use
the Measure Tool and Selection Edit Tool to arrange measures.
- Use
the Music Spacing command to space and align notes, avoid collisions of
lyrics and accidentals, and set ideal measure widths.
- Especially
after using the Music Spacing command, it’s important to choose Update
Layout from the Edit menu, so you can see what the final layout will be.
You should get in the habit of updating the layout just before printing—so
that you never get unexpected results when you print.
- Use
the Page Layout Tool to adjust the spacing of all systems on the page.
- Use
the Text Tool to add titles, composer credits, copyright notices, and
so on.
- Use
the Graphics Tool to Import/Export Graphics.
If you’ve had enough for this session,
choose Exit (Mac: Quit) from the File menu. If you want to go on, close
the document you have open.
