[Finale] duplets to dotted-eighths
Is there an easy way to change a bunch of duplets (two eighths with a 2 over them) in a compound meter (12/8 in this case) into dotted eighths (two dotted eighths with no 2 over them)?

Change your quantization settings to No Tuplets and re-transcribe. The only drawback to this is that it will wipe out note assigned expressions and articulations (and maybe more). I've not found a way around that problem. James Gilbert http://www.jamesgilbertmusic.com/ ___ Finale mailing list Finale@shsu.edu http://lists.shsu.edu/mailman/listinfo/finale

Others will be able to answer the technical side of your question, but having used the notation you're talking about, I'd STRONGLY recommend keeping the 2 to clarify your intention and make sightreading easier. It is still a duple against triple, even though the 2 is technically not required.
