is there a way (plugin?) to copy partial measures and have the rest durations as i have defined them NOT be altered? i need to copy a pattern [4+1/16 notes, dotted 8th rest] across 8 instruments with 4 layers, as well as into various parts of the following measures (continuously changing time sigs) and whenever i do this, the final dotted 8th rest is converted into 16th+8th rests. i have tried tricking finale by temporarily changing the time signatures in various manners, but can't find a solution. given the slowness of the programme in general, and the fact that this document is 3MB...
(v...e...r...y........s...l...o...e.......... oh crap a typo, undo..........w)
and that this problem comes up very often in this document, well i am kind of sick of manually correcting the rests. also i have to correct the rests to correspond to the meter _very_ often, and have been doing this all by hand. i don't want to do it by hand anymore... ultimately what i really want is to be able to buy the newest fastest mac on the market and for us to receive a new finale 2005 updater which corrects the speed issues, but i'm trying to keep my wishes realistic this week, so i'll downsize that last one somewhat and beseech:
please oh divine plugin gods shine some of your goodness onto one of your humble worshippers and say, oh that's easy, just check out menu X of my fabulous plugin collection.
Sometimes changing the quantization settings solves your problem -- I can't remember now which way it should be set, but there's a "Soften Syncopations" option -- if it's checked, uncheck it, and if it's currently unchecked, then check it. Another thing which might help is to change the quantization level to the shortest note value in your current work.
