Finale Forum

Finally starting to get used to using Scroll View in composing workflow as opposed to Page View....makes more sense. Question: how do I adjust the number of measures on a "page"....that is, what I see on my screen at one time? Hope I explained that clearly.

Aside from changing the Window size of Finale, you can't.

Or enlarging or reducing the percentage. motet's comment is spot on, though.

It is not clear whether you are talking about the new, empty measures (where you are about to enter music), or you are talking about the (previous) measures with already entered music.

Assuming that you are talking about the new, empty measures at the end of the document:

You can adjust the width of the new, empty measures (use the Measure Tool).

You can add more measures (Edit menu > Add Measures…).
When Finale adds measures after the very last measure in the document, the new measures get the same width as the last measure.

The main point of Scroll View, though, is you don't need to worry about measure width or number of measures per system. The measures grow as necessary as they are filled in. I enter all the music this way, then worry about formatting at the end.

If you are composing, on the fly, though, and trying to get the big picture at the same time, Page View may work better. Unless you're writing for a large enough ensemble that only one system will fit on a page, you will fit more measures on the Finale screen at a time with Page View.
