Finale allows you to specify any combination of the score and/or parts for printing in the Print dialog box. (When Print is chosen from the File menu, this dialog box automatically appears prior to displaying the Print dialog box.) In the score/parts list box, you can also specify the number of copies for each item selected. When multiple items are checked, upon printing, Finale automatically collates, batch printing each selection as if it were its own print job.

Finale is designed to allow you to easily print any number of parts from the main project document.

To print parts directly from the score

  1. Choose File > Print. The Print dialog box appears. The score and all parts are listed in the Parts/Score window.
  2. Check the parts (and/or score) you would like to print. Note that if you would like to print a different orientation for your score than the parts in the same print session (as specified in Finale’s Page Format for Score and Page Format for Parts dialog boxes), ensure Use Finale’s Page Orientation Instead of the Printer’s Page Orientation is checked in Preferences - Save and Print. Two print sessions will be required (one for each part/score in landscape and one for each part/score in portrait).
  3. Click OK. Finale proceeds to print the score/parts, one by one.
