Christopher Smith described the method with the custom line tool. But
there's another way, by making the text into a "custom arrowhead",
which permits 360° rotation:
- Use the Expression tool and go through the usual steps to get to
the Shape Designer.
- Draw a line, then select it.
- Choose "Arrowheads..." in the Shape Designer menu.
- Choose "Custom" next to "End" and click on create.
- Another Shape Designer window opens where you can create the custom
arrowhead. Here you type in the text block, choosing font and making
carriage returns as needed.
- Once you've typed in the text, OK the dialogs to get back to the
original Shape Designer window. There will be a line with your text
at the end of it.
- Rotate the line until the text is going in the direction you want
it to, then give the line zero thickness so it no longer shows up.
- You now have a shape expression containing vertical text which can
be placed anywhere in the score.

2.) Is it possible to place a text bloc VERTICALLY on a page? The
only way I
can think of is making a tiff-file (already vertical) and place
that on the
page. But is there a way to do this directly with Finale?
