Adding Fireworks in Time
FINALE Fireworks User Guide
When you move the target point, a measuring stick (not shown in the illustration) shows you the height and
angle of the target. By default, you can only move the targets to specific spots in the Sky Field—the targets
“snap to” and invisible grid. If you want to smoothly adjust the targets, hold down the SHIFT key as you drag.
Moving in Time
Moving a firework in time is similar to moving it in space: You make your selection as before, but this time
you click on one of the Timeline blips and drag. Moving to the left pushes the selected fireworks backwards
in time; moving to the right is into the future. As you drag, you’ll see your fireworks “perform”. For example,
here we drag a green mine forward in time (to the right).
In relation to the Playhead, the mine is getting “younger”, so it appears to run backwards. If you push the
firework past the Playhead, the connection to the Sky Field disappears, and a message tells you that the object
is no longer visible.
