Text/Alignment submenu

Use this submenu to specify how you want the text block positioned on the page. The commands in this submenu are only available when you're in Page View and have a page-assigned text block selected. Check marks appear by the placement settings currently in use for the text block. You can also set the placement for text blocks in the Frame Attributes dialog box.

  • Left • Center Horizontally • Right. Choose from these commands to align the text block to the left, center, or right of the page. When you change the horizontal placement of a text block, Finale clears any manual positioning done in the score, and resets the H: positioning setting in the Frame Attributes dialog box to zero.
  • Top (Header) • Center Vertically • Bottom (Footer). Choose this command to align the text block to the top, center, or bottom of the page. When you change the vertical placement of a text block, Finale clears any manual positioning done in the score, and resets the V: positioning setting in the Frame Attributes dialog box to zero.
  • Position from Page Edge • Margin. Choose these commands to align the selected text block with either the edge of the page or the page margin.
