Hi David: I went back into 07 and replicated the issue, so it isn't an 08 thing, but it may be my file. Or more likely, it is I...
You're right that the behavior is as always. Thanks for pointing that out! But, in 07 or 08 when I do as you suggest: select a bar to change to 2/4 select the second of the new 2/4 bars to change to 4/4 and "rebar music" I end up with only two beats of music in the first new 4/4 bar. It seems that Finale reflows successfully when it has too many beats but not when there are too few. So, the question now becomes, How do I change one bar to 2/4 and flow everything over by a half-beat. BTW: This is now all rhetorical, as I approached the issue in a different way in my work flow. But, enquiring minds need to know! -Carolyn On 7/20/07, dhbailey <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote:

What you need to do is to select from the second 2/4 measure, the one you don't want, all the way to the end of the score, change it to 4/4 and be sure "rebar music" is checked, and it should neatly end up in 4/4 as you wanted. -- David H.
