Metatools

You can create Time Signature Metatools—one-key equivalents for meter changes—that can save you time if you need to insert many meter changes into your music.

To program a Time Signature Metatool

Click the Time Signature Tool. Press shift and a number key or a letter key. Finale displays the Time Signature dialog box; create the time signature you want to correspond to the number or letter you pressed. Click OK (or press enter).

To use a Time Signature Metatool

Click the Time Signature Tool. Select a region of music. While pressing the number or letter corresponding to the Metatool you programmed, double-click a measure. Finale changes the meter over the region you have selected.
