| Posted By : Mike Rosen - 12/2/2016 7:17 PM | Generally, a 4/4 time signature gives me a beat chart with up to 8 handles. Even if I am in cut time, if I set it up as 4/4, displayed as 2/2, abbreviated, I have them all.
My current chart refuses to give me more than 4 handles in the cut section. I have set the TS from the drop down, manually,with and without the abbreviation. I have cleared MIDI data (for no apparent reason), and copied into a new document.
I have quit and restarted Finale, logged out and logged in, restarted the computer. Nothing seems to help.
Any help appreciated!

I select All in the Selection Tool, hit 5 for beat spacing (which clears the superfluous beat charts), then 4 again for proper music spacing. (I usually set Manual Spacing to "clear" for this).
If you need more nuanced than this, I think TGTools has a feature to clear extraneous beat handles, but I've never needed it.

| Posted By : John Ruggero - 12/4/2016 6:08 PM | I just ran into this myself, Mike. I have always had automatic note spacing engaged and therefore always seen a handle for every note. Recently I started working with it off and many of them went away!
