Page size

There are two places in Finale where you can set the page size: the Page Format for Score dialog box, Document menu > Page Format > Score, or the Page Layout tool. A page in Finale can be as huge or as tiny as you can imagine—but some printers are limited in the sizes of paper they can handle.

Note. If you plan to print on any size paper larger than 8.5 by 14 inches, see Printing for special instructions. For other instructions on mixing and matching page size layouts, and a more complete discussion of page layout, see Page layout. 

To set the page size for all pages

1. Click the Page Layout tool  . The Page Layout menu appears.
2. Choose Page Layout > Page Size.
3. In the Page Size dialog box, choose the page size from the drop-down list or enter values using the currently selected measurement units.
4. Choose Landscape or Portrait. This setting affects how Finale lays out the page. Printing settings are set in the Page Setup dialog box under the File menu.
5. Choose Change > All Pages.  
6. Click OK.
