Ledger Lines (Hide) Plug-in, Ledger Lines (Show) Plug-in

How to get there

  1. Choose the Selection tool icon and select a region from which you wish to hide ledger lines from all entries.
  2. Choose Plug-ins > Note, Beam, and Rest Editing > Ledger Lines (Hide) or Ledger Lines (Show). If there is no music selected when you invoke Ledger Lines (Hide) or Ledger Lines (Show), Finale will ask you if you want to process the entire document.

What it does

The plug-in looks through all entries in the selected region and hides or shows the ledger lines. If you “hide” ledger lines from a note on the staff, then later modify the note such that it is above or below the staff, it will be drawn without ledger lines. Analogously, if you apply the Ledger Lines (Show) command to a note on the staff, and then later move the note above or below the staff, it will be drawn with ledger lines.
