I have installed the JW Meter and Rhythm plugin in order to change 3/4 to 6/8, but I don't know how to use it.

I can see 6 tasks on the panel but no idea how to go on.

I appreciate your always valuable help

You've got me some what confused. If you seek to change your time signature to 6/8 just right click the time signature (anyone) and select 6/8 from the drop down.



Or,

Under Jw plugin use Measure Groups > Set Time Signature.

There may be an easier way, but I would do this:

1. Rebar as 6/4 (with Time Sig Tool).
2. Use JW Rhythm to Half the Meter.

That will turn 2 bars of 3/4 into one bar of 6/8 (halving the note values).

Thanks. I needed to do the same thing, and that helped a lot.

Thank you very much, Bravejoy, Buontempi and Ralph,

It works, but only for 1 measure each time I am tryng it

First I select all the score, and then I apply. Should I select or deselect something that I didn't?
