In c. 2/1 an extra D appears and I don't know how to delete it.

I appreciate your help

There is also an extra F.

Take a look at the attached Finale document.
Is this the layout you need?

In Simple Entry, you can just move along the notes with the arrow keys, and delete them when highlighted. You've basically got two extra notes in the first measure. You might want to turn on Check for Extra Notes in Simple or Speedy Entry menu.

Thanks,Peter.
It's that what I need, but the problem goes on when I Copy and Paste that measure. It's a hidden note I cannot delete

The beam-over-barline plug-in puts in extra notes.

Instead, use the document I attached, and Copy/Paste from that document.
The layout will not look completely correct, but you can fix the layout by changing the notation to “normal notation”, and then run the plug-in on the pasted.

NB:
The plug-in uses a different solution when beaming across a system break.
In the document I attached, I arranged the measures so that the beaming would go across a system break.
Then I ran the plug-in.
Finally I re-arranged the measures back to the original measure/system layout.

Peter, I don't know what you mean.

That is not what I got when I copied and pasted my document.

When you copied, did you use Stack Selection?

Yes, Peter, I did 3 different ways:
1) Stacked measures 1 + 2
2) copy & paste only the note Bb on m. 1
3) copy & paste the note Bb on m. 1 + D-F of the m. 2

and the result is always the same

Generally, you should be careful about copying partial measures, since Finale will retranscribe partial measures.

The attached document shows what I get.
I copied the first two measures as a Stack Selection.

It may not be necessary to adjust the beam angles when the layout is finished - with more measures in the same system.

Dear jose
It doesn't seems so difficult:
1- Select D note in measure 2.
2- Using / button on keyboard break its beam with previous measure.
3- Press delete button twice.
It's done!

Thank you all.
Peter, I was copying your measures in the wrong way: I was copying only the first staff.
Now it's all right, as I copied the 2 whole measures ( , that is, the 3 staves)

Have a nice week all of you

jose oscar,

It may not be so very relevant in this particular case, but you actually can make a Stack Selection of just the upper staff - by using a staff set with only the upper staff.
