Landscape and Portrait orientation

Under normal circumstances, Finale prints your pages in portrait orientation—with the page taller than it is wide. For some scores, however, you may want the page turned sideways, in landscape orientation. For instructions on printing in landscape orientation, see Printing.

If you would like to specify a different page orientation for the score than the parts, two print sessions are required. On Windows, Finale cannot use the orientation setting in the Page Format for Score and Page Format for Parts dialog box instead of the one specified in the Print dialog box.

While printing both the score and parts, you may want to use the orientation specified in the Page Format for Score and Page Format for Parts instead of the orientation specified in the Print dialog box. To do so, check Use Finale’s Page Orientation Instead of the Printer’s Page Orientation in Preferences - Save and Print.
