Time transpositon from 4/2 to 6/2 (or 4/4 to 6/4)
The file I'm uploading is a series of chord progressions to accompany 2 octave arpeggios in the violin scale book by Ivan Galamian. His 3 octave arpeggios use the same progressions. In order for my students to play those along with the chords I've written here, I'd have to rewrite everything in a meter of 6/2 (6/4 is OK also). Is there any automated or bulk way of doing this? If not, then if anyone has suggestions for the easiest way to do it other than starting from scratch please post those also. Thanks.

I'm not sure what you expect the final product to look like when you change to 6/2 time. Could you perhaps attach the first exercise in a new score or even added to the end of the current score and reattach it?
So you know, there is a way to quickly change all of the Breves to a different duration, I just want to see what changing a few measures will look like so I can get the entire process down for this specific example.

Yes, that's what I'm looking for, a quick way to change the Breves to dotted Breves. Here's a brief sample of what it should look like. Thanks!

Open Edit->Preferences->Shortcuts and look for Paste special and assign a shortcut to it. I've assigned ctrl+alt+shift+v but you can use whatever you like.
Select everything from the first file you uploaded and copy it (ctrl+c)
select the first beat of the second file you uploaded.
press 5. (five then the dot)
press your shortcut for paste special.
Everything you copied will now be 1.5 times as long when you paste it. You will now need to add Key signatures and section or system breaks to make it look like your original format. If you use section breaks rather than system breaks you will still get new lines but you won't get the courtesy key signatures. Courtesy key signatures are unusual in exercise books. Also, if you don't want the pause added by the section breaks, you can select them and set the pause to 0 in the inspector.
More info on Paste special: If you press the 1/4 note, everything will paste the same duration as copied. If you press any other note durations, all 1/4 notes will change to that duration and all other notes will proportionately change their durations as well. I told you to press 5. (for a dotted 1/4 note) and all durations were multiplied by 1.5. So if you had pressed 4 (8th note) all note durations would have been halved. This does work if you have tuplets selected so a triplet of 8th notes would change to a triplet of 16th notes if you press 4. You cannot use this to change note into triplets though. So there is no way to change 3 8th notes into a triplet.

Wow, it worked! Thanks. I didn't know about section breaks vs. system breaks before. I think that pausing before each new key could be a good thing. I'm pretty much a noob with MuseScore, but I have a background working in computing so I pick it up pretty fast. Great program, so many features to explore.

There are a lot of people here with a lot of knowledge about MuseScore to give tips and hints to make things easier. If you have further questions feel free to ask in a new thread.

FYI, here's the finished product, with section breaks and repeats. Thanks again for all of your help!
