Measure/Insert

Choose Insert if you want to insert whatever music you’ve cut or copied to the Clipboard between two existing beats or measures.

• If you copied a full measure stack to the clipboard, and would like to insert it, select the a region including the beginning of a measure on the top staff. Then, choose this menu item to insert the copied measures, nudging subsequent measures to the right.
• If you copied a region lesser than a full stack, first tell Finale where you want the material inserted by selecting any amount of music just after the desired point of insertion. When you choose this menu item, Finale will shift the subsequent notes to the right, rebarring the piece as necessary, only in the staves you're inserting into. See Rebarring music.

See Copying musicEdit Filter dialog box for an illustration. Items inserted depend on the elements selected in the . Hold down SHIFT and click the Edit menu to change this command to Insert and Filter. When you choose Insert and Filter, the Edit Filter dialog box appears allowing you to choose which items you would like to insert.

If you've created Clip Files using the Copy or Cut commands, you can paste any one into the score using the Insert command. Press CTRL while choosing Insert; the command name changes and Finale displays the Paste dialog box showing the names of any Clip Files on your disk. Double-click the one you want to insert.
