Subject: [Finale] display time signature
I'm creating a rhythm worksheet for my band students and would like to
display the time signature on EVERY line. I know about courtesy time
signature when you change to a different signature, but I would like to show
6/8 time on every line.
How is this done?

I don't think there's a simple way to just check a box to do this, you need
to determine the first measure in each system to begin with and then and
alter the measure attributes for every first measure to display the time
signature repeatedly.
I would first enter all the notes, articulations expressions and smartshapes
etc and then apply music spacing using a fairly loose setting. Updating
will space the music properly, but you can move a measure or two in Page
view if you want to, using the Mass Mover Tool. Once you've got it the way
you want you can then use the Measure Tool on the first measure of each
system and check the "Always Show Time Signature" box. The fairly loose
music spacing will allow enough space for the 6/8 to appear and not squash
the notes together.
