The answer is strange. You need to go to MIDI > Quantization settings. In the Quantization Settings dialog, click on "More Settings", and then check the option "Allow Dotted Rests in Compound Meters".

Why do you have to change a setting about rests in a MIDI menu to affect something that has nothing to do with MIDI, nor with rests? I don't know.

Hi All,

I have a large section of 9/8 meter music that I want to change and rebar to 6/8. When I do all dotted quarter notes change to a quarter tied to an eighth note. Dotted half notes change to a quarter tied to eighth tied to quarter tied to eighth. Is there something I can do to keep dotted quarter notes and to change dotted half notes to 2 dotted quarter notes. If not, it will be faster for me just to re-enter the entire piece then to fix all the
wrong notes.  Thanks to anyone who can help.
