Maybe if you change the time signature BEFORE doing the duration change, but be certain NOT to check the Rebar Music option.

Dear all -
I am arranging a piece that was written in the old eighth-note-gets-one-beat style (in 2/4), with many subdivisions (down to 64th notes). To make things easer for myself (or so I thought), I did my original arrangement in the same way, so that the measures, etc., would line up. Now I want to convert it to quarter note gets one beat (in 4/4), which I thought would be a piece of cake with the Mass Edit note duration command (change note duration by 200%, and I'm there - right?).
The problem is that any notes I entered into layer 2 do not get moved correctly. The problem seems to be with the whole rests in the measures that I didn't enter any layer 2 notes. While Finale does change the duration of the notes, it doesn't change the duration of the empty measures in layer 2. I wouldn't know if it does the same thing in layer 1, because all the measures have something in them in layer 1.
Is there a better solution than going and entering a half rest in layer 2 in all the empty layer 2 measures, or am I stuck with this?
Thanks -
