Percussion Layout Selection dialog box

How to get there

  1. Choose WindowScore Manager and select a score instrument.
  2. From the Notation Style drop-down menu, choose Percussion if it’s not already selected.

What it does

The Percussion Layout Selection dialog box displays the percussion layouts available in this document. Finale’s default percussion layouts (which were saved in Finale’s percussion layouts library) appear in this dialog box, as well as any percussion layouts you create or edit. Use this dialog box to edit, create, and delete percussion layouts (that can be used for any staff), and to select the current map that Finale will use with the current staff.

 

Note. To load a percussion layouts library, which can contain one or more predefined percussion layouts, choose the Load Library command from the File menu and select the library you want to open. To save a percussion library, choose Save Library from the File menu. Finale saves all the percussion layouts listed in the Percussion Layouts Selection dialog box into one library.

Note. Changes made to a percussion layout apply to all staves that use that particular percussion layout.

Note. Rather than create new layouts, you may find it easier to edit the percussion layouts contained in Finale’s default percussion library.
