Does this feature do the same thing as the resize tool but just globally? I think I might be starting to get it - maybe..

So what's the purpose of scaling? For example, If I wanted smaller text, why wouldn't I just use a smaller size for the text. Im still kinda lost on what the fundamental purpose of scaling is.

Thanks. I think where I'm still lost is with what we mean by the word scaling. Does it mean the same as resizing? In your example, it says scale page to 85%. 85% of what? Does that just mean the score is displaying at 85% it's true size? That's how I'm interpreting it but I'm also pretty sure that's...

My guess is that the 13" is the distance from the Left margin, at least on the pages in the score, with the score’s scaling percentage. I suppose that the pages in the parts are different, with a different scaling percentage, right? I've used this program for 15 years and feel like I still know not...

I get it now. When I created the text block, I manually positioned it on the page about 1" from the page top and 1" from the right page edge. I understand how to use the dialogue now, but still wonder where 13" came from? That's why I really didn't understand how to use the dialogue box because the ...

Thanks, but still not understanding the 13"? What does that in theory represent? Again, in the score the page numbers are on the page as they should be, but 13" would be off the page, wouldn't it? And then how would setting this number help if the score and parts are different sizes? If I'm understa...

I attached the dialogue box so you can see the values that are there when I open it. The score is set to portrait 8 1/2 x 11, the parts Octavo. Why would the default say it is 13 inches from the left of the page? On the score, the page numbers show up where I'd expect them, about an inch from the ri...

Tried it and didn't see any page numbers. But then I zoomed out of the parts (made the view 50%) and found they are way off the page. I've had this happened with other text blocks as well. How do I get things created in the score to stay on the page in the parts without having to manually drag them ...

Where is the show option for page numbers?

Yes. Did it in the score and it works for the score but doesn't show up in my parts. I wonder if I have to 'create' the parts after assigning the page number to the score? My parts had already been created.

I can't figure out how to get page numbers to appear in my parts. I added page numbers to the score but they don't show in the parts. Probably a simple solution but I can't figure it out. Thanks!

By some miracle it's working now. I even restarted my machine and it still wasn't working earlier - but now its good.

Hi Everyone, Using v25 on MacBook Pro with OS 10.13.5 I haven't used Finale for a few months, but my scrub playback isn't working anymore (space & option). Only difference has been system updates. Any ideas? It will not work on my old files as well as new ones. Audio is working normal for playback, ...
