[Finale] Time signature question

Hello folks, The arrangement I'm working on is in 3/4 but the same note values could easily be put in 6/8 or 12/8. I'd rather keep it in 3/4 the way the composer entered it into Finale, but would love to add 6/8 in parentheses so the players understand the rhythms more easily. Is there any way t

No, you don't need to do each instrument separately, you need to highlight the entire score at one time and follow the process, so that ALL notes/rests are acted upon at once. David H. Bailey Bob Florence wrote: This section is for 4 trombones. Trombone 1 plays 6 bars. He repeats his phrase

Bob: Because of the staggered entrances, select the whole section and run the "Convert to Real Whole Rests" plug-in (In the "Note, Beam and Rest Editing" submenu). Since you have empty measures, there are no rests to expand to 200%. If the rests become real, they will double properly. -- Brad

If you want to double the values and rebar the music, you can do that by highlighting the score using the mass mover tool and then under the Mass Edit menu select Change and the select Note Durations. Select 200% and be sure the Rebar Music box is checked. Then change the time from 4/4 to cut-

I think what Bob wants to do, in addition to changing the time signature from 4/4 to cut time, is also to double all the note values -- turn sixteenths into eighths, etc. This is easy enough to do with the Mass Edit tool -- just select "Change -> Note Durations", then select "Change all durati

You need to adjust your quantization settings to avoid this problem. There is an option in the deeper options dialogs to Soften Syncopations. Check this and it gets rid of all the tied 8th notes, leaving the quarter notes. When you change the time signature, Finale "adjusts" the music to f
