Re: [Finale] Time Signature - Stumped - FinWin2007
I had no problems changing time sig in 2008 or 2009. I don't have 2007 so can't try that, sorry.

I don't know exactly why that works, but it does. The original file had three staves, the first one in gamba tablature, which is now deleted. It seems that, somehow, the ghost of that deleted (master?) staff (which you cannot change) is still hooked to the remaining staff. Checking Independent Time Signature unhooks it. A similar thing happens with key signature. My file has "Independent Key Signature" checked. Unchecking that reverts the key of the original staff even though that has long been deleted. (Now I will wait to see how long it takes MakeMusic Tech to solve it!) Richard ___ Finale mailing list Finale@shsu.edu http://lists.shsu.edu/mailman/listinfo/finale

As soon as you turn independent time signatures off, they return to 3/8 though. I have no idea what's going on.
