Re: [Finale] independent time signatures
This will help save some keystrokes, although it isn't what I had in mind. If I go into mass edit and select the copy time signatures option and then try to copy the time signatures from a non-independnt time signature staff into one of the independent time signature staves, nothing happens. Is there some trick to getting this move to work? Aaron J.

Re: [Finale] independent time signatures
Time signatures only copy when you copy measure STACKS (all staves, for a designated number of measures.) If you are mostly keeping the same time signatures for most of the piece, and only need the independent time sigs for a relatively short passage, I would suggest turning off independent time sigs for all staves, setting all of your time signatures for the whole piece, then change some staves to independent time signatures and edit those staves's time sigs last. If it's a repeated pattern, you can also set a measure stack to what you want, then copy the measure stack to other measure, key signatures only.

[Finale] Independent Time Signatures Music Spacing
Am I correct that if you have independent time signatures in a score, that note spacing doesn't work for the independent time signature (as opposed to the real time signature)? I've never used independent time signatures before, but am now transcribing a piano quartet from 1796 where in the 6/8 Rondo at the end, the piano switches back and forth between 6/8 and 2/4 while the string parts stay in 6/8. I was delighted to discover that independent time signatures allowed me to do this, but now that I've got all the notes in, I've discovered that music spacing just doesn't work well at all. If I apply time signature spacing to the 2/4 part, it's OK except for the sections with accidentals. Is there any solution to this? Or is this yet another of the myriad half-baked feature in Finale that no one has really completely finished? -- David W.

Re: [Finale] Independent Time Signatures Music Spacing
Which version of Finale are you using? Note spacing with independent time signatures was broken for several years, but as far as I know it works correctly in Finale 2005. If you're using 2005 and there's still a problem, I'd be interested to have more details: maybe you could send me a copy of the problematic passage. Michael Cook On 22 May 2005, at 20:28, David W.

I am not planning to upgrade because of two reasons: 1. the activation systemm without key escrow, AND 2. not enough useful new features/fixes to justify the upgrade. While I'd love to have correct spacing for this particular file, this is the first time in nearly 15 years of my use of Finale that I've used it. Should I ever need it again, I'll make the time signature change cosmetic and enter the notes as tuplets. That would have been very easy in the present case because it's rhythmically homogenous, so I could easily use the CAPS LOCK in speedy entry to enter it very fast. -- David W.
