To define Glissando 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 > Glissando in the dialog box.
  4. Drag the glissando end point vertically and horizontally until the glissando attaches to the notes the way you want it to attach to notes 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 glissando to adjust it.
  6. Click Reset at any time to return the glissando to Finale’s built-in settings.
  7. Click OK (or press RETURN) when you’re ready to save the new settings. Or click Cancel to discard any changes you made to the settings.

Note. All glissandos that you create from now on will use the Slur Placement settings. The settings also apply to glissando end points that haven't been manually adjusted in all existing glissandos.
