Add Bookmark dialog box

How to get there

From the Bookmarks submenu of the View menu, choose Add Bookmark. Or type Ctrl-B. The Add Bookmark dialog box appears, showing your current location in the score.

What it does

The Add Bookmark dialog box allows you to create a new bookmark, and contains the settings used to assign a bookmark to a position in the score. The Add Bookmark dialog box offers different settings depending on whether you’ve selected Assign to: Scroll View or Page View.

• Name. Although Finale offers a default name, you can enter a descriptive name for the bookmark to be added.
• Assign to: Scroll View • Page View. Assign a bookmark to Page View or Scroll View by clicking the appropriate radio button.
• Settings for Page View: Page • Zoom • Horizontal • Vertical. The Page View settings reflect the score setup when you enter the Add Bookmark dialog box. Click the checkboxes for the settings you want remembered for this bookmark. In the Page text box, enter the page number that the bookmark will be assigned to. Zoom is the size the score displays on the screen. Enter a valid view percentage. Enter a value into the Horizontal text box corresponding to the bookmark’s horizontal position on the page. Enter a value in the Vertical text box corresponding to the bookmark’s vertical position on the page. Use the current measurement unit.
• Settings for Scroll View: Measure • Zoom • Staff Set • Staves. The Scroll View settings reflect the score setup when you enter the Add Bookmark dialog box. Click the checkboxes for the settings you want remembered for this bookmark. In the Measure text box, enter the number of the measure that the bookmark will be assigned to. Zoom is the size the score displays on the screen. Enter a valid Scale View percentage. Either choose a Staff Set option to associate the bookmark with all staves or a staff set at the selected Measure, or use the Staves option to name an individual staff associated with the bookmark at the indicated Measure.

The measure you are marking is the "absolute" measure number in the piece. If you add or delete measures after the bookmark is created, the music at the marked measure could be different. As an example, if you put a bookmark at measure 10, then delete measure 9, you will still go to measure 10 when the bookmark is called, but you will see the music that was previously in measure 11.

• Add • Cancel. Click Add to add a bookmark. Click Cancel to return to your score without adding a bookmark.

Tip: Set your document as you want the bookmark to be, then choose Add Bookmark. Finale will remember all the settings for you.
