[Finale] How do I insert 2 beats (part of a measure)?
I don't know how it happened, but 2 beats got left out of the middle of my concert score. So I want to insert them in again. It's half a measure, so I can't use Add measure stack. Is there a quick and easy way to do that? The select part of a measure option apparently has been moved somewhere where I can't find it. bill sinclair billsi...@aol.com ___ Finale mailing list Finale@shsu.edu http://lists.shsu.edu/mailman/listinfo/finale

You can select part of a measure by (in selection tool) pressing the left mouse button and dragging around the area you wish to select. I'm not sure exactly what you mean - do you mean there's a 2/4 bar instead of a 4/4 bar? You can double click on the bar using the time signature tool and change the time signature (ticking the -this bar only- box) Sorry if this isn't what you mean.

Do you mean that all the music after the place where the two beats are missing is shifted two beats to the left? If that's the case, you can do this: - select all the measures from the one where the two beats are missing to the end of the piece. - drag and drop this selection two beats to the right. - at the appropriate place, paste in the two missed out beats. If you need to select part of a measure, you do it by drag selecting starting outside the staff.

How about adding a 2/4 measure where you want it. Then before adding any notes, change the measure to whatever the surround time signature happens to be. Then add your notes. Readjust if necessary to get what you're looking for. That is if I understand your situation correctly.
