What it does

The Baseline Shift dialog box allows you to adjust the vertical position of the text without affecting the spacing between lines. To select the default measurement units, click on the Finale 2012/Preferences menu, then Measurement Units, then select the desired units.

Amount. Enter the amount (in measurement units) that Finale should shift the selected text characters vertically above or below the baseline. A positive value raises the text, and a negative value lowers it.
