In my previous notation program I used a lot of empty text boxes to
stop things from appearing in print.
I had the option of moving the graphics layer of any element
(including these white boxes) up or down.
Is there any equivalent in Finale?
Yes, you can position opaque boxes over things, but no, there is no way
to control the order in which Finale draws things. Your method will work
if the thing you're trying to hide happens to be in a lower drawing
layer. I think others may have more specific information about the order
Finale uses.
On the other hand, one of the available text styles (in expressions and
text boxes) is "Hidden". So if you have a reminder note or something
that you want on screen but not printed, you can set the text to Hidden.
It will display lightly on screen but will not print.
What items are you trying to hide? There may be other Finale-ish ways of
doing it.
Aaron.
