Counting measures

If you are a Finale copyist, you might choose to bill clients by the frame, which is one measure of one staff. Finale's File Statistics dialog box tells you how many frames are in your piece; it also tells you how many frames actually have notes in them, so the client doesn't get billed for empty measures. It also tells you how many pages, staff systems, and measures are in your piece.

To count measures, frames, systems, or pages

1. Choose Window > Score Manager and click the File Info tab.
2. Click File Statistics. For an interpretation of this information, see File Statistics dialog box.
