In a 6/8 measure I enter dotted quarter notes and Finale (V2014.5, Win 10) converted them to quarter notes tied to eighth notes. On some files in the past, where I used "Einfache Eingabe"  I just realized it, when I reopened the file. Yesterday I found out, that there is a difference if I copy and paste or insert the notes.

Why is this difference? How can I generally prevent this effect? How can I make it undone?

Thanks!

How can I generally prevent this effect?

 

The culprit is a setting in

MIDI/Audio menu > Quantization Settings > More Settings

In the pane for rests, select Allow Dotted Rests (select both options, to cover all meters)

Yes, I know.

It sounds crazy that a setting for rests would affect notes, but that is “just one of those things”.

 

 

How can I make it undone?

 

Utilities menu > Rebar > Rebar Music
