Re: [Finale] how do I delete #1 measures?

Ok, I haven't had time to try anything yet , but in my defense, I did not use the pickup measure function as I know it is totally bugged. My fault for being unclear in my first message. I actually did exactly as Christopher describes, but I still have the problems. Thanks On Nov 29, 2015 7:24 AM,
