Excuse a bunny daring to offer an answer- but I found Finale will not believe, as described, if in "select partial measures' (edit menu) mode.
It works for me with dotted v tied notes, but I don't know about rests. (I haven't got Finale handy to check up!) Click alt.e.m. (with no dots) before mass move and it starts to believe. (I think!)

Not quite the same, but reading this reminded me of it: I use dotted quarter rests in 6/8, 9/8 and 12/8, because I think it makes it easier to see where the beats are. Whenever I copy a measure, Finale turns each of these into a quarter plus an eighth. This is just what I would expect Sibelius to do (:-)> but is there somewhere that I can tell Finale to believe me? _______________________________________________ Finale mailing list [email protected] http://lists.shsu.edu/mailman/listinfo/finale -- No virus found in this incoming message.
