View/Zoom submenu

The Zoom submenu offers commands that let you specify the size at which you want the score displayed on your screen, expressed as a percentage of its actual size. You can't change the actual (printed) size of the music on the page in this way; this technique simply lets you magnify or reduce the screen display of the music.

  • Zoom In • Out
  • Fit Width. Choose this command to scale the view percentage so that the page occupies the width of the Finale window. This command is available only in Page View.
  • Fit in Window. Choose this command to automatically reduce the viewing percentage just enough to fit the current page completely on your screen, no matter what size screen you have. This command is available only in Page View.
  • Custom Zoom 1 • 2 • 3. Choose this command to display the document in the percentage chosen for the corresponding Custom Zoom in Preferences - View.
  • Other. Choose this command to display the Zoom dialog box, where you can specify any reduction or enlargement you want - from 10% to 1000%.
  • Last Size. Choose this command to return to the previous magnification setting you viewed.
  • Define Custom Zooms. Choose this command to display Preferences - View, where you can define the View menu's custom view percentages.
