I have FInale 25 and run on a Mac 10.13.6.  I have a concert band score I'm working with and trying to establish a tabloid size score.  I set the page set up on my mac to tabloid and also change the page set up in finale to tabloid so my document makes it that far.  Then I attempt to resize the page to fill up the space. The first 14 pages of the score do great but any additional pages are supersized - as in only half of the instrument fit on the page from top to bottom and the page hold about 2 measures.  Can't figure out why that is happening.  SHouldn't teh sizing fix all teh pages equally?

Hi Allen,

Please show us the steps you are taking in page setup and print. You can attach screen shots (png or jpg but not pdf) using the picture icon in the header. I recommend using Shift Command 4 to capture just what we need to see.

There is one more step to do:

Go to

Document menu > Page Format > Score…

and set the page format there as you need it to be (= as in the first 14 pages).

Then, switch to the Page Layout Tool, and Redefine Pages (all the pages in the document).

 

Explanation:

The settings in Page Format for Score affect the formatting of all new systems/pages.

Already existing systems/pages are not affected until you Redefine them.

This is by design, and what users have requested.
