When this item is selected (displays a check mark in the menu), Finale automatically moves the editing frame to the next measure as soon as there are enough notes to fill the current measure. Finale also displays the There Are Too Many Beats In This Measure dialog box immediately when you enter a note that puts the total rhythmic values in the measure over the limit allowed by the time signature.
If this item isn't selected, Finale doesn't move the editing frame to the next measure when the current one is full; you must press the right bracket (]) key to advance to the next measure. Finale also waits until you exit the current measure before it displays the There Are Too Many Beats In This Measure dialog box. See There Are Too Many Beats In This Measure dialog box.
