Gosh, how stupid am I. I did a score about a year ago in which I went
through a complicated system of entering massive amounts (i.e., every
measure) of different time signatures 7/8, 9/8, 13/8, 5/8 and then went
through and manually adjusted all of the beams to be correct. Ah well.
I guess I had the time, and not enough inclination to learn the better
way.

Hi Linda,
1. From the time sig dialog click Composite
2. Enter 2+2+3 in beat groups
3. Enter 8 in beat duration
If you want 7/8 to display instead of 2+2+3/8 then continue with #4
(otherwise click OK):
4. Click Options
5. Check use a different time signature for display
6. Change to 7/8
7. Click OK
I don't know what version or system you are on, but this should be
very close.
Good luck,
Rick Neal

Subject: [Finale] grouping notes in 7/8
Help, I don't know how to fix this:
A student has given me a Finale file of a piece in 7/8. Lots of
eighth notes, all flagged, even though the pattern is pretty
consistently 2/2/3. Is there a way to beam the groups instead of all
those spidery flags all ovr the page. 16ths and above are beamed,
naturally, but oy, all those eighths.
Help, and thanks in advance.
Linda
