Colin~ 
What about the time signature tool?
I just took a piece in cut time, went to the time sig tool, selected all, and 
changed every measure to 3/2 time in an instant. Just check "rebar music."  Or 
am I misunderstanding what you want to do??? It can also be done for any range 
of selected measures.

Subject: [Finale] Finale Wishlist: a Re-bar tool/mode



I'm currently in the process of re-barring a passage of music, and it's
taking for ever.  While I acknowledge that this is one area that Finale is
slightly faster than Sibelius, is still painfully slow.  Here's what I would
love to see:

A re-bar tool, or even a re-bar mode of the measure tool.  With this, I
could double-click between any two notes/beats in a measure and it would
split the measure there and automatically change the time signature. 
Alternately, I could select a barline, and hit delete and it would merge the
two measures together, again altering the time signature automatically.  To
help Finale with certan time signature decisions, there would be a "Re-bar
options" dialog box, where one could select whether 2/4 or 4/8 was
preferred, or whether a 7/8 was 2+2+3 or 3+2+2, etc.

I would find a function like this infinitely useful.  Am I the only one?

C.
