To move music from one layer to another

  1. Click the Selection tool , and select a region of music. See Selecting music for some region-selecting shortcuts, but note that, for this procedure, you must select a region of complete measures.
  2. Choose Edit > Move/Copy Layers. The Move/Copy Layers dialog box appears.
  3. Specify how you want the layer contents moved. For example, to move the contents of Layer 2 into Layer 3, select Move Contents of Layer 2 into and choose Layer 3 from the drop-down menu.

    Be careful how you use the elements of this dialog box. If you set it up incorrectly, you could lose music—for example, if you direct Finale to place the contents of one layer into a layer that already contains music. (Finale will warn you.)

  4. Click OK (or press ENTER).
