Hi all,
F2K3.
In Speedy, is there any way, when shift-arrowing to create a NEW measure, to have that new measure's length match the number of notes entered and the measure attributes (hidden time signature) when shift-arrowing onward to the next new measure?
I am entering a Johanna Beyer score for solo clarinet. It is several hundred measures. Each measure has a different time, but no time signatures are marked. I just want to Speedy forward from measure to measure, filling each measure with notes and going onward.
It would be so nice if this was an existing feature that I didn't know about. (Even a plugin to remove trailing rests and adjust measure time would be useful.)

Do I have a plugin for you! JW Time Signature is made for this. (I have version 1.00d in FinMac 2003) You turn off "fill with rests when leaving frame" in Speedy Options, enter the notes for each measure as you go, and then when you are done, you select the passage with Mass Mover and run the plugin. The time signature will be automatically changed to express the number of beats in each measure, like magic. Spacing is a lot easier then, rather than having every measure be a partial measure of 4/4, and having to adjust spacing manually (yuck!)
You can hide all the time sig changes at one shot afterward(if you want) by selecting the passage with the Measure tool, double clicking, and checking Time Sig> Always Hide.
Oh yeah, one more thing. Start with a rather large time signature (like 8/4) so you don't have to deal with the annoying "This Measure Contains Too Many Beats" dialogue all the time.
