Brand new to these fora, got stuck working on mid-measure clef changes. I have Bassoons in two layers, and want to switch from tenor to bass clef mid-measure. Finale seems to only allow me to change at the measure, and the two layers are the only reason I can see for this happening. I created a mid-measure clef change in another bar and tried to drag it into place as a work around, but it wouldn't move into the bar, stopped at the bar line.
I tested in other staves and moving clefs around was no problem.
Much thanks!

Welcome to the forum.
Are you using the "full Finale" - or one of its smaller siblings?
Which year? - 2012? - 2011? - 2010? - 2009?
I have not experienced that the presence of two layers should prevent a mid-measure clef change.
Perhaps there is something else going on in your .mus document?
I think we will need to see a (small) .mus sample document, since troubleshooting is "hit and miss" without seeing an actual document.
Before you can attach a .mus document in this forum, you must compress it, e. g. as a .zip file.
And the file size must not be more than max. 100 KB.

Using full 2012.
I somehow managed to make it work by dragging a clef back from a later point in the score. I think it may have been a glitch or something I did. I haven't had any problems and have done a lot of mid-measure clef changes since then in multiple layers.
Thanks!
