I would like to apply rhythmic notation to selected measures of a lead sheet where I already have normal notes entered ... i.e., I want to convert those normal notes into rhythmic notation. I can't seem to be able to do it. Either the entire score turns into rhythmic notation, or all the notes in the selected measures disappear altogether. I know this must be simple but ... !
Thanks.

Can you post the score that's givng you the problem? That doesn't sound like normal behavior.

Attached (I hope) is a sample chart. In measure 1, all the notes are in layer 1. In measure 2, all the notes are in layer 2. In measure 3, the first two notes are in layer 1 and the second two notes are in layer 2. I'd like to be able to change only the layer 2 notes to rhythmic notation.
I'm able to change the layer 1 notes to rhythmic notation, but when I try that for the layer 2 notes, they disappear!
Thanks.

Take a look at the attached Finale 2012 document.Mike A wrote:…I'd like to be able to change only the layer 2 notes to rhythmic notation…
Is this what you mean?
In the document I used a custom staff style that displays Layer 2 notes as Rhythmic Notation.
