Hello friends.
I have created "New default document" and set appropriate tonality and measure.
Finale didn't make 3 eighties for all notes in score
Please answer me what to do to be like on the photo:

You need to change the time signature. 6/8 can be thought of as 6 eighths (obviously) - which Finale will beam as you have there: individually. Or you can think of it as 2 dotted quarters, in which case, Finale will beam your notes to those beats.
Finale can handle very complex time signatures, in order to create beaming groups in particular rhythms.

If you set up the time signature with the drop down in the selection tool, 6/8 will be set the way you want it.

When you are in the Selection Tool, the Time Signature menu is a sub-menu in the context menu.miker wrote:If you set up the time signature with the drop down in the selection tool, 6/8 will be set the way you want it.
This can be a little awkward since you have to, first mouse the (main) context menu, and then the Time Signature sub-menu.
However, when you are in the Time Signature Tool, the Time Signature menu is the context menu.

I have (almost never) used the time sig or key sig tools (or clef, or repeat) since all of them were conjoined into the selection tool. Why search for an icon (or remember a metatool) when they are right there? But there are many ways to do things, and I certainly won't claim my way is best for anyone except me.Peter Thomsen wrote:When you are in the Selection Tool, the Time Signature menu is a sub-menu in the context menu.miker wrote:If you set up the time signature with the drop down in the selection tool, 6/8 will be set the way you want it.
