The note mover tool simply doesn't work that way. It *can't* move notes to a place where notes cannot be, which is between a repeat bar and the beginning of the measure. That restriction is hardwired into Finale. Now, you might think that you could do it with Note Position Tool (the first icon in the Special Tools palette), but, again, there isn't sufficient room there for the notes, though in this case, you can actually drag the notes there. The other drawback of this method is that you can do it only staff by staff, and if you need things in different staves aligned vertically, there's no real way to do it accurately and consistently, except by eye (so far as I can see, there's no way to copy manual note position alterations from one measure to another). Also, unless you have your document's Music Spacing options set to INCORPORATE, you'll lose it the next time you respace the measure. The only way to do it that works well is with two 1/4 measures. -- David W.
