Hey folks I am returning to Finale after a long layoff. Finale 2014, Win 7. Finale is inserting extra beats for some reason in measure 88 of the attached arrangement, and when I delete the quarter rests it removes the last measure of the song. What am I doing wrong? (When I attempt to attached the file to this post, it says I cannot post a file with a .musx extension. If you cannot post a Finale file, what can you post?)

Welcome to the forum.

To post a .mus file here, it must be compressed (zipped) and cannot exceed 100 kb in size.

Thanks Mike. And how do you zip an .mus file on the Windows 7 platform?

Thanks Mike. I did zip the file, but it still exceeds the 100 kb size. So, to my original question: Finale is inserting quarter rests (and therefore, extra beats) into a measure near the end of my song. When I delete the quarter rests - Finale also trims off the last measure of the song. Any ideas why this may be happening ? Also, is there a way I can email you the file for your evaluation?

You can send it to wawoodman at aol dot com

Be aware, though, that I will be checking it on a Mac.
