This is not a "duh", and many smart people have banged their heads against the wall trying to figure out Finale's page layout. What I think you want is the percentage tool (looks like %). If you click on a page, the whole page (or series of pages) is resized. If you click on a staff, that staff is resized. If you click in between staves in the same system (THIS is what you want!) then the whole system (or series of systems) gets resized. When the dialogue box shows up, try out a number that's bigger than what they show is the current percentage, and see what the result is. You may want to reflow measures afterward (select all with the Mass Mover, then hit command-U on the Mac, might be control-U on the PC) to prevent crowding. _______________________________________________ Finale mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://mail.shsu.edu/mailman/listinfo/finale
