Two Columns of Text & Music on the same page
Moderators: Peter Thomsen, miker
Hello,
I am running Finale 2014.5 on a Mac using OS High Sierra 10.13.6
I'm trying to create a page in Finale where the top half of the page is two columns of text, and the bottom half of the page is music. I can't figure out how to make this happen...can anyone offer some guidance?
Thanks,
BugleMe

You can do it with two text blocks.
One text block for the left column, and another text block for the right column.

Here is Peter's 2 text box suggestion. You can replicate the example you picture but you might have to spend a few hours of self-instruction mastering Finale's limitations and developing a workflow. There is a Finale file attached with some tips.

Thank you all for your suggestions!!! Doing it with 2 text blocks set up as columns was the best work around by far!
Setting up the text first in Word and then copy & pasting into Finale's text block was fairly straight forward and easy.
Just a lot of nudging and futzing to get things just right.
Thanks again for the suggestions!!!
