I opened a MIDI file in Finale (mac, 2010) and discovered that right in the
middle of the pioece, all of the notation had shifted over a measure and a
half. Not just one beat, not just one measure, but two eighth notes to the
left in 6/8. I have NO idea how to shift them into the right position.
One possible solution:
Highlight the entire 6/8 section of music. Change the time to 1/4.
Re-highlight the the new 1/4 section where the 6/8 measure actually starts,
and change the time signature to 6/8.
You may need to experiment with checking and unchecking the rebar music
box for this to work
In Speedy, insert enough rests to push the notes until they start the
next/following measure. When it complains that there are too many beats, choose
the last option to Keep moving notes until all measure Now go back and
delete the empty measures.

If it were me, I would select all the music from the place I want to shift to
the end with the Selection Tool, click and drag it carefully 2 eighth notes to
the right, and release. If I got it wrong, command-Z to undo and try it again.
Afterward, I might have to select all and Retranscribe to
