Hello Forum,
I really like this engraving of Theme and Variation text in this attachment. How would I approach this in Finale? I could not find a way that is "automatic".
I also want to know how do I start another Variation, that is Indentation and the text "Var. 1" in the empty space.
Section Text before Staves

I'm not sure what you man by automatic, but assuming you just want it at the start of the theme and each variation, I would do it with a text expression. If you define its position correctly as shown, you can make one and then just duplicate it to make the others that can be attached without manual adjustment. To make space at the beginning of the system for it, drag the system margin handle in the Page Layout tool.
