The default files have no effect on already-existing files -- they only affect new documents.

Using the Mass Edit tool, select the range of measures and hit Clear. This will make sure that the measures are truly empty. Then use the Measure tool to create the MM rest.


Aaron has good advice, but this is the kind of thing that hits me regularly when importing older files into a newer version of Finale. Sometimes I have to resort to copying the contents into a new, blank file.

Another thing that I see a lot of is some measures simply will NOT space correctly, no matter what settings I use, until I clear the contents and re-enter the music.

Maybe I just have a lot of bad luck, but I get really twitchy whenever I have to edit older files.
