How about -- Change to 4/4 with no rebar completing 1 full measure as triplets and then copying the rhythm for duplication. It would probably mean having 1 measure completed in triplet for every type of measure appearing -- Jerry Gerald Berg - Original Message From: Johannes Gebauer [EMAIL PROTECTED] To: finale@shsu.edu Sent: Tuesday, September 16, 2008 2:49:07 PM Subject: Re: [Finale] Change 12/8 into 4/4?

Re: [Finale] Change 12/8 into 4/4?
I assume you want to do more than just change the signature to show as 4/4. I fear even that would respace the music, although I have not tried it. Even then you would have to manually change the dotted rests to plain rests. If you want to use actual triplets, there is no single-step way. You will definitely lose any manual music spacing you have done. But there are some tools that can speed it up. For example, use my Mass Copy plugin to copy the first triplet you enter (possibly invisible) to most every other beat in the piece or the selection. (You still will have a problem with the dotted rests, though, and it won't work correctly for dotted half notes or rests.) I've done this kind of thing. With the Mass Copy plugin, it basically amounts to a couple of steps plus having to re-proof. It's not as quick as one would like, but it isn't just awful either.
