I am somewhat new to notation and very new to finale. I'm hoping you folks can help me with this. :) Here's what I need to do: I need to change the beamed notes in groups of three to become triplets in the first 10.5 measures. I also need to eliminate any rests in these measures. Here is my sheet music: Image

Welcome to the forum!

Since you are new to Finale 2014, I recommend that you study the tutorials and the videos.

For note entry I especially suggest that you study the tutorial document “EntryExercises”, which discusses the Simple Entry Tool.
There are a lot of goodies in there, including instructions for tuplet entry.
