Lead sheets

See also Chord symbols; Lyrics; Measures per line; Titles. 

In general, lead sheets are no different than any other format. There are one or two Finale features of which you should be aware, however.

In many lead sheets, there is no barline at the left end of the line.

To omit the left barline from each system

  1. Choose Document > Document Options > Barlines. The barline Options appear.
  2. Click Display on Single staves (or Display on Multiple Staves) to de-select it. Click Apply to save your settings.
