If you’re using running headers or footers in your score, you might want to position a graphic in the header or footer near the “outside” edges or margins (the left or right edges, respectively) of each left (even-numbered) or right (odd-numbered) page, as opposed to positioning the graphic in the same place on every page. This is easily done using special positioning settings for right-facing (odd-numbered) pages in the Graphic Attributes dialog box.

To position page-assigned graphics on left- and right-facing pages (Graphic Attributes dialog box)

1. Choose View > Page View.
2. Click the Graphics Tool  . The Graphics menu appears.
3. Click to select a page-assigned graphic, then choose Graphics > Attributes. Or, double-click a page-assigned graphic.
4. Use the Alignment and Positioning settings to position the graphic on every left-facing (even-numbered) page in the selected page range. See To position page-assigned graphics (Graphic Attributes dialog box).
5. Select Use Right Page Positioning to place the graphic differently on right-facing (odd-numbered) pages.
6. Position the graphic horizontally on right-facing pages. Choose Left from the Right Page Alignment and Positioning: Horizontal pop-up menu to place the graphic on the left edge or margin of the right-facing page; choose Center to center it between the left and right edges or margins; or choose Right to align it on the right edge or margin. (Finale resets the Right Page Alignment and Positioning: H: setting to zero so the left, right, or center of the graphic is aligned horizontally with the page edge or margin.)
7. Set the positioning distance. Enter values into the H: and V: text boxes in the Right Page Alignment and Positioning group box for the distance to position the graphic horizontally and vertically on right-facing pages, based on the Right Page Alignment and Positioning: Horizontal setting, and the Vertical and Position from selections in the Alignment and Positioning group box.
8. Click OK to confirm your settings.
