Hello,
I simply try to open 2 Finale files simultanously, side by side or one above another in order to easily copy music from the scratch into the full score.
Unfortunately I and can't find a way, apart of having only one instance of Finale opened and toggling again and again from the window menu between the 2 files.
Isn't there a way to tile the program horizontally that copying will be easier?
Greets,
Ben

P.S. I use Windows 7 and Finale's last version (25.000).

When you open the second document, it sits on top of the first. Restore down the second one (middle button in upper right corner of the Finale window). Now you can drag the document about by the header. Hover mouse over the edges of the selected document to obtain a double-ended arrow cursor. Now you can drag the edges, making the document any size you wish. Click on the header of the first document, and do the same. I hope this helps.

No need to do that. Under the Window Menu you have two options to tile the windows vertically or horizontally.

Yikes! I've been doing it the hard way.

If editing staff systems in separate documents, I would still drag the margins; so that just the two staffs appear and are close together, aligned one above the other, which facilitates observance of differences in the notation.

Thanks David.
