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.
