To position page-assigned text blocks (Text menu)

  1. Choose Page View from the View menu, if it isn’t already selected.
  2. Click the Text tool . The Text menu appears.
  3. Click a page-assigned text block handle, then choose Text > Frame Attributes.
  4. Position the text block from the page margin or the page edge using the Placement submenu. Choose Position from Page Edge or Position from Page Margin to align the text block from the page edge or from the page margin, respectively.
  5. Position the text block horizontally. Choose Left to place the text block on the left edge or margin of the page; choose Center Horizontally to center it between the left and right edges or margins; or choose Right to align it on the right edge or margin.
  6. Position the text block vertically. Choose Top (Header) to place the text block on the top edge or margin of the page; choose Center Vertically to center it vertically between the top and bottom edges or margins; and choose Bottom (Footer) to align it on the bottom edge or margin.

Note: When you change the horizontal or vertical placement, Finale clears any manual positioning that was done in the score, and resets the H: or the V: positioning settings, respectively, in the Frame Attributes dialog box to the new position.
