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. Jim

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. _________________________________________________________________ Windows Live(tm) Messenger has arrived.
