Hi all,

I've never had this requirement before. A composer wants pages set up with
absolute measurements. On 11x17, staff 0.7cm high, space between staves 1-3
and 4-6 1.9cm & spacing between the two groups 2.4cm, distance between systems
5.4cm, page margins 6.3, 1.7, 1.7, 3.0.

The math is right, but these tools don't seem to be available (using 2010 for
this job). Margins and system spacing, yes. But the staff spacing seems to
have no relationship to the numbers entered (entering -1.9cm isn't even close
to 1.9cm; I assumed top-to-top and it was closer but still not right).
Individual staff spacing seems to be click-drag with no numerical display. To
get a 0.7cm staff, I used a custom staff with the spacing set to 0.175cm, but
it still isn't coming out right.

I've been using this program for close to 20 years and this is the first time
I've had to create an absolute page. Since Finale's 100% display isn't
actually 100%, I can't measure it with a regular ol' ruler.

Guidance, please?

Dennis
