RE: [Finale] Margins, Left and Right 9 x 12
Hi Benjamin, Can't help you with number one (I think it depends on the number of pages if you want to do binding that actually creeps) For #2, Finale always considers the first page in the file as a right page, no matter what your page offset (Text menu--Edit page offset) is. You can do one of the following: Adjust left pages and always remember in your head that left pages are actually right pages in the file (I personally don't do this because I sometimes loose track) or--- Insert a blank page at the beginning of your score. This will shift the pages in such a way that you can do your margin adjustments. Then delete the blank page after you're done so your page numbers are correct. If you really are numbering from one, and making page one a left page, I'm not sure that's standard... Hope this helps... Allen -Original Message- From: Benjamin T.

This response is a tangential comment. First of all, check your math. The last time I checked, you would need to change the margins to 0.75 on a side (not 0.7), if you didn't want to affect your layout in this situation. One of the purposes of my Page Mover plugin is to keep you from *having* to do such math. In this case, the math is easy, but in many cases it's a pain in the @!!#@, esp. if you want to change paper sizes too, or if you want a gutter margin for binding. -- Robert Patterson http://RobertGPatterson.com ___ Finale mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://mail.shsu.edu/mailman/listinfo/finale
Re: [Finale] Margins
Any default setting you can set and save in your default template. Open a blank document from your default template, make the changes and save it as a template with the same name, replacing the current one. helgesen wrote: Just a quick one! Page layout, edit margins. Default settings are; left 1.0 Right 0.5. (Who decided these and why?) I adjust to 0.7 each side and this gives me what I want. Actually it gives 0.7114 or similar- but that's OK. It gives me centralised printing instead of offset to the right. Can I set this as permanent default? It's no great hassle to adjust, but I'd like it as default. Regards, Keith in OZ ___ Finale mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://mail.shsu.edu/mailman/listinfo/finale -- David H.

Those values are what is set in your template. Whoever created your template chose those values. >I adjust to 0.7 each side and this gives me what I want.

Options-> Document Settings -> Page Format for Score will let you set the default page margins for a document. Enter whatever values you like. Make the change on your template file and it'll be set for all your new documents as well. mdl ___ Finale mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://mail.shsu.edu/mailman/listinfo/finale
