The method David describes is a good one. The gotcha is to watch for bar numbering..! Steve P. > On 17 Aug 2017, at 13:21, SN jef chippewa > wrote: > > > not really "mid-bar" change, more like butt-splicing different pieces > together, each with anacrusis

For both time sigs in one hand you choose which actual meter you want (4/8 or 12/16) then select "show as" to create a double key signature. Or at least that's one way. Another is to add the second time sig as expressions. On a number of occasions I have done something similar to your 4/4 in one

I don't agree it is "very complicated". You can achieve the result you want (mid-measure keys/timesigs) using a few extra steps. The result is robust and works exactly as you would wish it to, including playback. Finale does permit e.g. 3/8 in RH and 9/16 in LH, where the barlines line up. (I

That is rather disappointing and quite surprising to me, that these things can be accomplished only with a lot of very complicated fiddling around. I need to do all those three things moderately often in the music I compose. Key signature changes inside a bar are surely common

not really "mid-bar" change, more like butt-splicing different pieces together, each with anacrusis and final "incomplete" measure. but yeah achieved in the same multi-step tasks in finale. thanks for the reminder that i haven't listened to this piece in awhile :P > Change time

In my early attempts to transcribe music (already written) into Finale, I am finding myself wanting to do several things in the middle of a bar which Finale appears, by default, to do only between bars. If anyone knows how to do these, I would be grateful for any hints. I cannot seem
