Select the music with the Mass Edit Tool. Make sure you select all the staves, not just the top one. Now choose Music Spacing > Apply Note Spacing from the Mass Edit menu. When you go to the Measure Tool, and select the beat chart for a measure, there should be handles for all the notes.

Listers,

Let me start by saying that my usual pattern for getting sheet music "out the door" is usually rushed, and under tight deadlines. So, quite often I just accept many of the Finale defaults. I find it easier to just make excuses rather then spend time tweaking the layout. :-(

Anyway, I have recently had the liberty of going back to some of my work and finally doing some cleanup (it was pretty ugly). I have been spending my morning futzing with beat charts (I think that's what they're called). However, I have noticed something rather strange. The top measure has two half notes, but the third and fourth staves down in the system have eigth notes and triplets. When I click on the beat chart handle for the measure (in the measure tool), I only get two beats that I can adjust (the two half notes). Short of using the special tools to adjust individual notes, is there a way to allow the adjustment of these subdivisions?
