Is there a simple way to change a score written in a 3/4 time to a 6/8 without redoing the whole score? then the notes?
I appreciate your help

Thank you very much, motet,
As the score is some pages long I didn't want to download the whole file.
So I'd like to know how did you get it.
By the way, what is JW Meter, please?

I'll study your instructions with time later, as it seems it requires some time

Once downloaded jw staffpolyphony where should I place it?
There are several jw plugs-in. Is that the right one?

Well, motet,
I did as you wrote and theoretically is already in Plugs-in, but...where?
After the enigma of who built the pyramids of Egypt this is the biggest mistery!!!
I cannot find any plug-in under that name

Open Preferences - Folders and just look where the plug-ins are kept. No need to click Browse. Just make a note of it. Yours may be the same as mine:
Then, quit Finale, find the zip file you downloaded and extract jwmeterandrhythm.fxt. Move this to the above-found folder. Then restart Finale and open your music file. You should find JW Meter and Rhythm in the Plug-ins menu.-

While waiting for the JW plugin to get working, here's a more old-fashioned, but not very slow, way of doing it:
The original notation in 3/4: > Utilities > Change durations > Change all note durations to 50%, check the option rebar music: > Time signature tool > Change time to 2 dotted quarters = 6/8:

Before doing this step it might be a good idea to fill all empty measures with a dotted half rest.Anders Hedelin wrote: ↑Mon Mar 30, 2020 5:58 pm… > Utilities > Change durations > Change all note durations to 50%, check the option rebar music …
Otherwise the different parts may not get the correct amount of rest measures/rests
