Hi Patricia, Have you tried Special Tools Secondary Beam Break Tool? Click on beams. Select the forth box from the left and press enter. A dialog appears asking what to do. Tell it Break only and check 16th. It just worked for me. Hope this helps. Eric *

I finally bit the bullet yesterday and purchased a MacBook Pro running Mavericks. You guessed it: Finale 2012 is dead (along with a slew of my other apps). Anyone have any idea whether there is likely to be an upcoming upgrade-special that will make the leap to Finale 2014 cheaper than $139?

Assuming you have a keyboard with a wide enough span, you set caps lock on 3 (16th notes) then play all the chords in one at a time. Then change the 16ths to the correct dotted rhythms. On Wed, Jul 16, 2014 at 8:13 AM, Dennis Bathory-Kitsz bath...@maltedmedia.com wrote: Robert, thanks, The

In that case you might find it easier to use transposition with keep original notes checked. Unfortunately it is not a consistent interval from note to note, but you can set up several transposition metatools that might speed up the process if there are some intervals that are more prevalent than
