Re: How do we double note values in a passage?

Hi Burt, 1) In the video you filled the blank measures with Real Whole Rests. When you used Speedy Entry to reflow, you had selected the option {Check for Extra Notes}, causing the dialog box There Are Too Many Beats in This Measure to appear.

BurtGoldstein, I have watched your latest video. This is an easy one. I almost dare not say the following - please don’t smack me. ;-) You forgot to change the 3/4 measure to a 3/2 measure (which you did in your first video). What you see, is that the 3/4 measure now contains to many note values (wo...

Re: How do we double note values in a passage?

BurtGoldstein, I took a look at the video in your first post.

It may very well be possible that somewhere a measure does not contain the correct nu...

Re: HITS Below regular staff

I looked in my archive of Finale solutions, and found these files (rhythmic notation above staff).

But perhaps this solution is only what you are doing already (= having to manually tweak tons of little options on tabs and menus) ?

Re: Reverse stem

To move a beam to the left:

1) You must be in the correct layer.

2) Special Tools Tool.
Sub-tool: Beam Extension Tool
Handles appear on the beam (if handles do not appear, click in the staff/measure).
Drag the handle to the left.
