Pardon me, but what about using Microsoft Word, or any other word
processing program for this? If the title page has no music on it,
that's how I would do it, rather than trying to force Finale to do
something it wasn't designed to do. The right tool for the right job,
and all. As long as it loo
Yes I know I can do that. But I have linked parts and adding an invisible first
measure creates too many other problems to overcome.

Not necessarily so.
Insert a measure before the first measure. Insert the title page befor
Thanks. I'll check out those links.
The text will appear on a cover page. Custom Smart Shapes are required to
be attached to a staff. There is no music on the page, so there is nothing
to attach the shape.

Have you searched for sideways/vertical fonts ? There are quite some
fonts available:

Fair point. I do indeed want rotated text, both 90° and -90°.
Thanks for helping me clarify.

When you say vertical text, to me that conjures:
v
e
r
t
i
c
a
l
That is easily accomplished with page text. I think you are asking for
rotated text.

Thanks. I wish they would make the text tool a little more powerful.
Vertical text is very common in scores. It would be nice if there were an
easy way to achieve desired results.

You could export a graphic either out of Finale or other program and then
place it on the page. Unfortunately there are numerous buggy hurdles with
this approach, but it can be done.
For vector graphics you must use EPS. I so wish Finale supported importing
PDF as a graphic. There really is no exc
It's on a title page, and there are linked parts involved. I'd rather not
put an invisible bar of music on that page.
Back to the drawing board.

If all you need is vertically oriented text without rotation of the
letters, you can use the standard frame options on a page title to do it.
If you need the letters to rotate, the only solution I know is a custom
shape. Perhaps you could place an invisible bar of music on your title
page. Ugly, bu
What's the best way to get vertical text on a page? I've created
SmartShapes before to do this, but this is a title page and there is no
music nearby on which to attach the shape.

I thought I remembered that there was a rotate function in shape designer.
I thought wrong.

If you just want to copy one shape to one other document, just copy a
measure containing the smart shape and the definition will copy.
