Yes, the Staggard Barlines is where I was headed. But getting there from my already notated 4/4 document will be as you say. . . time consuming. I don't see a good/easy way to get there from an already somewhat completed score.

Re: multiple time signature how best :-)
Split measures plug-in I did not know. In your mus file you provided: -8 staves down, I made the Time Signature and Independent Element for this stave only. -highlighted the measure with 1 beat then a repeat -in Split Measures: --Splint after 1 beat --Dashed unchecked move to next system. It hangs F...

Re: multiple time signature how best :-)
Oh dear, I don't think I was clear. What I uploaded *was* done in Finale, and as you suggested. I'm looking for a more eloquent way to express without a repeat bar in the middle of a measure (for example). Like changing a single measure to 2 2/4's or doing away with the notion of 4/4 altogether. Cur...

Re: multiple time signature how best :-)
Thanks Peter! Good questions I've been there so long I forget the overall context. Individual instruments come in progressively and repeat their phrase at repeatable intervals. There is a beat but no notion of time signature per se. It’s in 4/4 only for the composer’s convenience. Suggestions welcom...

Re: multiple time signature how best :-)
Hmm. Well, it's a 4/4 measure with a repeat sign after 2 beats - *just for that instrument*. I think it's quite clear but I don't think musicians would see it that way:-). My notion is to change that measure with the repeat to two 2/4's, with the repeat after the first 2/4 - again, just for that ins...

multiple time signature how best :-)
Greetings! So I created a score section per attached. Quick and dirty and you know, functional IMHO :-) But not up to code as they say. How best to change that measure with mid-repeat to 2 2/4's? Searched a bit and yeah, I can independently change the measure to 2/4, but I would need to insert anoth...

Re: Selective Staff Width
It still requires some work, but with the right settings, the work will be limited. However, I don't know your exact requirements, so I can't predict whether this workaround will be usable for you. I can't think of another method that would be less work. Zuill Thanks Zuill! Yeah, I considered this ...

Re: Selective Staff Width
Right, great idea but not centered. Tried just moving the two lines down but it didn't change the centering.

Selective Staff Width
Greetings! I don't think this is easily possible but to selectively change the staff line thickness? Say a standard 5 lines staff merrily going along but then I change it to a single staff using a staff style. What I'd really like is for then that single staff line to be much thicker. Don't think it...

Re: Finale crashing but recovery okay
Yes, fin* files. A "zuillion" of them :-) So thinking on it more, it's been crashing when I'm in simple note edit changing a tuplet to not be a tuplet :-) (on midi file import I sometimes get these falsely interpreted entities). It does not like it sometimes when more beats (temporarily) end up in a...

Re: Finale crashing but recovery okay
Wow, tmp files - never thought to look at that. And I had a zillion of them! Also a good reminder to see what and where I have things set.

Finale crashing but recovery okay
So I have not researched if this is common or not right now with the current release. But I have a rather large score and Finale crashes every hour or so - only to recover itself perfectly (thank you much!). I don't know what further details to provide. It is a timing thing that happens when I chang...

Re: Pause over a rest on a 1 line staff
Sorry for the can of worms I thought of creating a duplicate articulation, just hated to have to do that. But I did and of course it works fine. Thanks all!

Re: Pause over a rest on a 1 line staff
I totally agree with you as I haven't figured it out for quite some time. Odd, I just found one that is fine. Figures after I (finally) post. But no idea why it's fine and no idea how to fix the others (I'll copy the measure that works perhaps, and edit).

Pause over a rest on a 1 line staff
A pause over a quarter rest on a 1 line staff. I touch it, and it moves up to where I expect. I look away and it's back on top of the rest. How to fix without screwing anything else up?
