Keith: Rebarring the music, in essence, picks up all the notes and then lays them back down again in the new configuration. For example, if you have 8 2/4 bars and you chage the time signature to 4/4, rebarring would squeeze all of the notes to land as early as possible, leaving you with 4 bars. Choosing not to rebar would leave you with 8 bars, each only half full. Rebarring can do some unwanted things to the music, including changing tied notes into a longer note (a quarter note on the last beat of a bar tied to a quarter note on first beat of the next bar may translate into a half note when rebarring). Resizing the note lengths and resizing the bar lengths independently might muck up the notated rhythms in this manner if you allow it to rebar the music. Choosing not to rebar allows the music to be notated exactly the same, with changed lengths. Rebarring should be the default if you're changing only measure length or only note length, but changing both should not include a rebar on either step.
