And so I'm going to want to make a change there. I've only got two here on the second system. Looks like three measures per line's looking good.
So I'm going to use the key command Cmd+-, that would be Ctrl+- on a PC, and this way I can see the entire page, and I can actually see about three pages simultaneously. Now, I'm actually going to zoom back out so I can see more of the score at the same time. And as we start moving to the second page, I'm seeing things like 16th and 32nd notes, so it's getting a little bit busier, so three measures per line looks good there.
#Finale version 25 is the tool palette fixed plus#
Now, if I look at the first system here I've got multi chorder notes and things like that so four measures plus the first thing complete measure look okay and on the next line it's four. Okay, so next thing I might do is set the number of measures per line. And that's looking a lot more the way I want it to look when I go ahead and print this. And immediately, it looks like I've got a little bit more room on the page. And to get this to be more in line with what we would like to see on an 8 and a half by 11 page size, I usually resize to 85 to 90%. Now, in this case, I'm going to do it page one through the end of the piece. Or the one that I like to use a lot is to click in the upper left hand corner of a page and resize the entire page. And choosing a different percentage or clicking in a staff which will resize the entire staff. So, I'll enable that by clicking the tool up on the main tool palette and remember that you can change the size of things like a note by clicking on a note. So, we can adjust that by using the Percentage tool. And often times the notes sizes and other things like that end up looking a little bit big on the page when you actually print it. As I said to you in an earlier video, those musical elements are sized based upon a folio page size. So, the first thing that I'll do when I get ready to start formatting a score is take a look at how the note size and staff size and those kinds of elements look on the page.
So, please go ahead and open up the 806 format start file. I've learned from experience that if you start adjusting things as you create the score, you'll likely end up moving them again later, to accommodate something else. As I enter the notes, expressions, and other musical details into a score, I don't spend a lot of time worrying about how the score looks.
