Double the durations and number of measures in all parts
Posted: Sat Sep 30, 2023 10:07 pm
I have a score in 4/4. Originally the tempo was going to be about 60. I've decided it should be 120 instead. So quarter notes will now become half notes, half notes become whole notes, etc. And there will be twice as many measures.
Now, if I select all and choose "change... durations," it halfway works, but messes things up. It seems to only change durations when there are durations there to change. If some instruments are tacit for a few measures, those measures don't get changed. As a result, all of the parts get out of phase with each other and nothing lines up anymore.
I also tried fooling Finale by changing the meter to 8/4 with(out) re-barring and then changing back to 4/4 with(out) rebarring. It didn't work though.
It seems there must be some easy way to do this. Any help would be much appreciated!
