cut time to 4/4

[panworks]

I tried your method but things do not look right. That first measure should be a pickup note on the last sixteenth of a 4/4 measure (I would think as the cut time version has an eighth note pick up) but it is now on the last sixteenth of the second beat of the first measure So now everything is moved back. Is this where re-barring could help? images attached. Thanks

Hi, Panworks:


Can you post the original midi file and let me play with it a bit, please?

David, thank you for the help. Attached is the midi, a short clip - a work in progress - notice that the first note is a pick up. I could certainly re do the file by hand into 4/4 I just thought if there was an easy way to do it in composer it could save me some time.

Hi, Panworks:


I think the attached .jpg shows what you're looking for.



What you needed was another bar of rest at the beginning, to allow the re-transcription to create a full bar with a pick-up.


I changed the meter to 4/4, then used Staff Symbols/Meter menu/Scale meter and chose 1/4 note on the right and 1/8 on the left.


Hope that helps.

David, Excellent! Of course I needed the extra measure at the beginning in order to get a full 4/4 measure. Thank you for your time and interest.
