Which version of Finale are you using? Note spacing with independent time signatures was broken for several years, but as far as I know it works correctly in Finale 2005. If you're using 2005 and there's still a problem, I'd be interested to have more details: maybe you could send me a copy of the problematic passage.

Am I correct that if you have independent time signatures in a score,
that note spacing doesn't work for the independent time signature (as

I've never used independent time signatures before, but am now
transcribing a piano quartet from 1796 where in the 6/8 Rondo at the
end, the piano switches back and forth between 6/8 and 2/4 while the
string parts stay in 6/8. I was delighted to discover that
independent time signatures allowed me to do this, but now that I've
got all the notes in, I've discovered that music spacing just doesn't
work well at all.

If I apply time signature spacing to the 2/4 part, it's OK except for
the sections with accidentals.

Is there any solution to this?

Or is this yet another of the myriad half-baked "feature" in Finale
that no one has really completely finished?
