To space existing staves evenly

1. Click the Staff Tool  . The Staff menu appears.
2. Choose Respace Staves from the Staff menu. The Respace Staves dialog box appears.
3. Leave Keep Current Position selected if you don’t want to move the top staff. To place the top staff a fixed distance from the top of the screen, click to select Top Staff Position: Set to, then enter the distance (in measurement units) into the Set to text box. To reposition the top staff by a percentage of its current position, click Top Staff Position: Scale to, then enter a percentage into the Scale to text box. For example, to place the staff twice as far down, enter 200 (%) in the text box.
4. To maintain a fixed distance between the remaining staves, click to select Distance Between Staves: Set to, and enter the distance (in measurement units) into the Set to text box. To place staves closer together or farther apart proportionally, click to select Distance Between Staves: Scale to, then enter a percentage into the Scale to text box. This will preserve the relative distance between each staff. For example, if you created a larger-than-usual gap between the woodwind staves and the strings, and you entered 50 (%) in the text box, Finale would make extra space, but both the gap and the distances between staves within the woodwind or string sections would be half as large.
5. Click OK to confirm your changes.
