In order to speed up your work with Finale, you may want to limit the number of times Finale redraws the screen picture—a process that requires the computer to do time-consuming calculations, particularly with large scores.
To move the screen picture diagonally
Occasionally, you need to move both scroll bars—for example, if you want to move diagonally across the page—which means that Finale must redraw the screen at least twice.
In those situations, adjust the screen picture using the Hand Grabber Tool instead of the scroll bars; this tool lets you drag the display in any direction without redrawing until you let go.
Finally, as a shortcut, remember that you can switch to the Hand Grabber—regardless of which tool is highlighted on the palette—by pressing the right-button while dragging.
