Hello All,
I created a new marching band score using the "Setup Wizard". I set the time signature to 'cut time'. I added a few notes and hit play just to test. When I hit stop my time signature switches, by itself, to a 2/2 time signature.
Can someone help me understand why that's happening and how to correct it so that my score displays cut time?
Windows 11....using Finale Version 27...Garritan instruments
Thanks
Since you created the document using the Setup Wizard, my first guess is that the problem is document specific (not program specific).
If the problem is program specific (= happens in all documents), then I would consider resetting Finale’s Preferences.
Now for the possibility that the problem is document specific:
First, take a look in
Document menu - Document Options - Time Signatures
There are options for abbreviating 4/4 to Common Time, and abbreviating 2/2 to Cut Time.
Next, take a good look at the actual time signature:
Time Signature Tool.
Double-click the first measure. The dialog box Time Signature appears.
You can expand the dialog box by clicking a button called {More Options >>}, or something like that.
When the dialog box is expanded, you can see an option to display another time signature than the real time signature.
