Dear all - 

I am arranging a piece that was written in the old 
eighth-note-gets-one-beat style (in 2/4), with many subdivisions 
(down to 64th notes).  To make things easer for myself (or so I 
thought), I did my original arrangement in the same way, so that 
the measures, etc., would line up.  Now I want to convert it to 
quarter note gets one beat (in 4/4), which I thought would be a 
piece of cake with the Mass Edit note duration command (change 
note duration by 200%, and I'm there - right?).

The problem is that any notes I entered into layer 2 do not get 
moved correctly.  The problem seems to be with the whole rests in 
the measures that I didn't enter any layer 2 notes.  While Finale 
does change the duration of the notes, it doesn't change the 
duration of the empty measures in layer 2.  I wouldn't know if it 
does the same thing in layer 1, because all the measures have 
something in them in layer 1.

Is there a better solution than going and entering a half rest in 
layer 2 in all the empty layer 2 measures, or am I stuck with this?

Thanks -
