When you rebar music, it always adopts Finale's default beat divisions, according to the metre. If you change the metre into Composite... then enter something like 1 beat unit on top, then however many beats you need in EDUs (1024 EDUs per quarter note, or 4096 per whole note; you'll have to do some manual addition) then the note divisions will always be as long as possible. This still isn't what you want (unchanged) but it might be closer.

Thanks Christopher,
That works, but if I am reducing the number of beats in a measure, then the extras are out in no-man's land, rather than being put into a new measure of
their own.  Is there a way to get them back?

I am working on Byzantine chant, un-metered, so I input the notes and then
organize the measure lengths into textual units.  With "rebar=on" and
"measure region=through end of piece" all the measures rebar nicely.

Thanks again.
Peter

Unclick the box "rebar music?" before you hit OK.

In Finale 2008, dotted notes are being changed to tied notes within

measure after changing the meter.  Is there a setting that I can
change to
prevent this?



Thanks,
