Finale 2008 Interface Changes

Finale 2008 included several interface changes that provide a more intuitive and streamlined workflow environment. These changes included the consolidation of functions into fewer tools and menus, and as a result, some commands were moved, added, renamed, and/or moved to different locations. If you have upgraded to Finale 2010 from Finale 2007, use the information here to reference the new location of these commands.

The New Selection Tool  

The Selection Tool has inherited all functions previously encompassed by the Mass Edit Tool. Select regions of measures, copy, and edit music, apply plug-ins and make other changes to score regions (or the full score)with the Selection Tool. Most commands previously under the Mass Edit menu have been moved to the Edit menu and the new Utilities menu. Others now also appear in the MIDI menu (now called the MIDI/Audio menu) and Mirror menu. See the Finale 2007 to Finale 2010 Menu Reference Chart below for details.

There are some notable changes regarding selection, copying, and filtering:

The Select Partial Measures command has been removed

Finale always allows you to select full or partial measures without requiring a menu selection. See Selecting Music for more details.

Copy, paste, or insert measure settings by selecting a "stack"

In Finale 2007 and earlier a measure could be selected in, for example, four horn parts of an orchestral score. Inserting this music elsewhere would add the measure in all staves, filling only the target selection with the source horn music (the inserted measure in all other staves would be empty). Now, to insert full measures, the source and target must include full measures, and all staves, called stacks.

In a stack selection, highlighting extends between all staves (vertically) of a selected region. Double-click full measures to select the measure stack. For details, see Copying Music.

Copy and Insert/Copy and Replace

In Finale 2007 and earlier, drag-copying either inserted or replaced entries depending on a setting under the Mass Edit menu. Now, selected regions can be easily inserted or pasted (replacing entries) by dragging or using the clipboard (see Copying Music). All musical elements in a region, including measure-attached items, can be copied, pasted, and inserted with all methods of copying - within the same document or across documents.

Filtering

In Finale 2007, musical elements were excluded from target regions while pasting using the Items to Copy dialog box. Finale 2010's equivalent is the Edit Filter dialog box. The Measure Settings can be either inserted or pasted, but only if the source is a stack selection. Using the clipboard to copy, paste, and insert now always includes the same elements whether drag-copying, drag-pasting, and drag-inserting. In other words, the same mechanism is now used for clipboard-copying as drag-copying.

Modeless Editing Commands

The following changes mean less switching tools and more universal controls.

New Utilities menu

 

 

The Utilities menu was introduced in Finale 2008 and includes many commands that previously existed under Finale 2007's Mass Edit menu and submenus. Commands that apply to the entire document, such as Update Layout, are always available. Editing commands that require a regional selection are available whenever any measure region is selected (with the Selection Tool or any other tool that supports regional selection). See Utilities menu.

Copy and edit with any tool that allows regional selection

Right-click a measure region with the Selection Tool or Measure Tool selected to access a new expanded context menu. Now, to insert full measures, the source and target must include full measures, and all staves, called stacks.

Cut, copy, paste, insert, and apply any command under the Edit and Utilities menus whenever a region is selected. The following tools allow regional selection:

The Backspace and Delete keys now clears or deletes measures in the above tools. 

 

Staff Tool:

Repeat Tool:

MIDI Tool:

Some commands are accessible in many tools

The following commands can be applied with any tool that allows regional measure selection. A single-key alternative is available for some of these commands if the Selection Tool is chosen. (These are similar to previous Mass Edit keyboard shortcuts). 

Tool-specific changes
