Are you using Speedy Tool entry? The behavior has always been that, if the
cursor is on a note, then pressing the '5' key changes the duration to a
quarter note. Is the problem something simple like not having the NumLock
key on for the keypad? Are you in the right layer? Is Insert off?

I don't know for sure in 2004. In 2007 you select the Clef Tool and click a
measure. The options in the dialog box include 'create a moveable
mid-measure clef'. Look in the index under Clef, midmeasure.

I think independent time signatures were in 2004. Select the Staff Tool,
click the staff, check the box for Time Signatures under Independent
Elements.
