In the quantization settings, click the More Options button, and then be sure to check the Soften Syncopations and it should take care of this issue. However, if it is already checked, uncheck it because I honestly can't remember which setting actually solves this problem. -- David H.

Re: [Finale] Keeping dotted notes...
In Finwin 2006 I can't re-create this - the dotted breves stay as dotted breves. Is this another 2009 improvement? Cheers, Lawrence Lawrenceyates.co.uk ___ Finale mailing list Finale@shsu.edu http://lists.shsu.edu/mailman/listinfo/finale
RE: [Finale] Keeping dotted notes...
I just tried this in FinWin2007 and the 6/1 bar split without any problem: see http://www.yatesguitar.com/misc/6-1%20to%203-1.gif . Is your signature really 6/1 and not something odd behind the scenes like 3 over double-wholes? -Original Message- From: finale-boun...@shsu.edu [mailto:finale-boun...@shsu.edu] On Behalf Of dc Sent: Tuesday, February 10, 2009 10:50 AM To: finale-shsu.edu Subject: [Finale] Keeping dotted notes...

Re: [Finale] Keeping dotted notes...
The quantization setting you need is allow dotted rests in compound meters. If this setting is checked, the dotted breves will stay dotted breves. (Yes, I know that 3/1 isn't a compound meter, and that the problem affects notes as well as rests. Go figure. Tell MakeMusic about it: it's time they sorted this one out) Michael On 10 Feb 2009, at 19:50, dc wrote: I'm trying to convert a piece from 6/1 to 3/1 by dividing each measure in two.

Re: [Finale] Keeping dotted notes...
I haven't got allow dotted rests checked but the dotted breves were still retained. Anyway, at least you found a solution. Still puzzling though. Cheers, Lawrence -- Lawrenceyates.co.uk ___ Finale mailing list Finale@shsu.edu http://lists.shsu.edu/mailman/listinfo/finale
