Using this method, you can tell Finale
not to make any measure wider or narrower than a certain width.
- Choose Document > Document Options
> Music Spacing. The Music Spacing options appear.
- In the Minimum Measure Width text box, enter
the minimum measure width you want to allow in the selected region.
The units are whatever you’ve selected using the Measurement Units command
(Edit menu). Enter a Maximum Measure Width too, if you want.
- Click OK (or press ENTER).
When you use the Music Spacing command, Finale will check all the measures
you’ve selected, to make sure they’re within the width range you specified.
If any measures are narrower than the minimum, Finale sets them to that
minimum width (and shortens any that are longer than the maximum width).
