To define Tab Slide Placement settings

  1. Click the Smart Shape tool  image\Smart_Shape_Tool.gif. The Smart Shape menu appears.
  2. Choose Smart Shape > Smart Shape Placement. The Smart Shape Placement dialog box appears.
  3. Choose Smart Shape type >Tab Slide.
  4. Drag the tab slide end point vertically and horizontally until the tab slide attaches to the notes the way you want it to attach to notes of that type in the score. Instead of using the mouse, you can enter values into the text boxes using the measurement unit you’ve selected.
  5. Drag the other end-point of the tab slide to adjust it.
  6. Click Reset at any time to return the tab slide to Finale’s built-in settings.
  7. Click OK (or press ENTER) when you’re ready to save the new settings. Or click Cancel to cancel any changes you made to the settings.

Note. All tab slides that you create from now on will use the Tab Slide Placement settings. The settings also apply to tab slide end points that haven’t been manually adjusted in all existing tab slides.
