You've tried changing the time signature in the Time Sig tool and checking the "show more options" and "use different time signature for display" and "use abbreviated time signature" boxes, right? I'm not near Finale so I can't check the actual wording, but it's close to that. I often times forget to check the box for "use different time signature for display." It should work after that regardless of what's checked in the doc options. If it doesn't work I'd suspect a corrupted file. Ryan
