Finalisons ! ♫

Copying and inserting allows you to introduce new beats or measures into the piece, pushing all existing music to the right. Inserting a selection nudges all subsequent music the number of beats of the inserted material on the target staves only. When inserting any region less than a stack, the inserted beats can overflow into the next measure requiring the music to be redistributed in all remaining measures of the piece. This is called Rebarring music, and Finale applies it automatically when inserting regions less than a stack. Because stacks are always full measures, all staves, inserting a stack does not rebar music, but pushes all measures to the right intact (increasing the length of the score the number of inserted measures).

Allow Dotted Rests in Simple Meters • Allow Dotted Rests in Compound Meters. Usually Finale writes out all rests instead of notating dotted rests. Check these boxes if you want Finale to notate dotted rests when copying, transcribing your MIDI file, or during a HyperScribe performance.
Check Allow Dotted Rests in Simple Meters to apply this setting to all portions of your score in a simple meter (e.g. 2/4, 4/4, 2/2, etc). Check Allow Dotted Rests in Compound Meters to apply this setting to all portions of your score in a compound meter (e.g. 6/8, 9/8, 5/8, etc). When this option is selected Finale notates a quarter rest followed by an eighth rest as a dotted quarter rest.

When copying and pasting, if it is necessary to rebar the music (see Rebarring Music), these settings apply to the target region. For example, if Allow Dotted Rests in Compound Meters is checked, Finale combines quarter rest/eighth rest figures into dotted quarter rests when music is copied into a region with a compound meter and rebar music is applied.
