Page breaks

What if we were creating a medley of barbershop arrangements? You could create each song as a separate file, or just insert a page break to start the next song at the top of a new page. First, we’ll need to add some measures to the end of the piece.

1. From the Edit menu, choose Add Measures. Type 25 into the dialog box. Click OK. Scroll to page 2. Now we have some extra systems for experimenting.
2. Click the Page Layout Tool  . Handles appear on the page and system margins.
3. Click on (a measure in) system 5. The handle should appear filled in. You’ve just selected the system.
4. From the Page Layout menu, choose Insert Page Break. Finale places the system at the top of a new page. You’ll also see a Page Break icon by the system.
