At some point, Finale automatically checked the beaming, and rebeamed to the meter. (Look at speedy options, etc).
Yes, you can set the beaming for the meter. In the change meter dialog, click the composite button, check the box for using EDU's, and enter the following values for the 5/8:
1 1
1536 1024
and for the 7/8, add another 1 over 1024.
This is the same idea as choosing 2 dotted quarter notes for 6/8, as opposed to 6 eighth notes, and will give you the desired beaming results.
Alternatively, you can use Mass Edit to select a region, and specify the beaming to follow the rules of a meter that is not the one in effect.

All the 5/8 and 7/8 was displayed with individual flags, so I used the / stroke in Speedy to group all the beams properly, and it worked fine, and the extracted part came out fine too.

Two questions:

Can I tell Finale 2003a that in this document, or a range of measures, all 5/8 should be grouped 3+2 and all 7/8 should be grouped 3+2+2? If not, that's a good feature to look forward too.

If I can't set this for a document or passage, I wonder why the beaming was forgotten after revisions? Dynamics and articulation stayed intact.

Thanks for any advice!
