Belated thanks for that, Jari - just surfaced again! The size change was just what I needed, but I still haven't got all I was hoping for. Especially in the Measure tool, which I find extremely fiddly to use, I'm looking at barlines completely covered by 3 handles that claim to be "transparent" but aren't, plus a 4th one sticking out to the right. I want to be able to see what's underneath without the dirty grey shadows on the insides of them. Unchecking "Transparent Handles" on my now slightly bigger than standard sized ones produces opaque ones that make the barline invisible and can completely cover a note head at the bottom of the stave. Groan... What I want are the neat, thin outlines of the opaque ones with a clear view through the middle, and no messy, dirty shading. Am I missing something? Just off to start another topic.

On the Mac it’s Preferences > View and there is a setting for handle size. Should be something akin for Windoze.

[Finale] FinWin 2014 Handle size and colour?
Hello Listers, Because of endless difficulties with the change from Finale 2000c to 2014 (following terminal computer crash Nov.2014) I'm way behind with music preparation for my orchestra. :( Please can anyone tell me a way to make Finale handles bigger, and get them showing just a plain outline? At the moment I find them too small for ease of use and they seem to have grey shading within the square frame. Those are two among many frustrations. One of the biggest is the ridiculous Search set-up for the on-line manual. I searched on "handle" and got 373 results. Same for "handle colour". "Handle size" produced 523 results. The link for the first result listed says "Keyboard shortcuts and special mouse clicks". "Handle" doesn't even appear in the "How do I?" index, so perhaps it's no longer possible to change their appearance. :( Greetings from England, Patsy Moore -- Patsy Moore AGSM ARCM pa...@mooremusic.org.uk Conductor, arranger etc. Da Capo (Do All Come And Play Orchestra) and teaching accompanist www.da-capo.org.uk ___ Finale mailing list Finale@shsu.edu https://lists.shsu.edu/mailman/listinfo/finale To unsubscribe from finale send a message to: finale-unsubscr...@shsu.edu
