15/8 Time Signature Problem
I am writing a song for voice and piano and change the time signature from 6/8 to 15/8 in one measure. However, the measure only allows for thirteen beats. I am stuck. Help?

Okay, here's everything else. I have 1.2 on a Mac OX 10.7.3.
I go to Create - Time Signatures and create 15/8 in the boxes. I drag it into the measure in question. I get angry at it for making 13 available beats.
Again, any help is appreciated.

would be better to attach a score to make us understand.

I checked out the top link that you suggested, and the Measure Operations solved it. In case you're curious, I set the "Actual" time to 17/8 while showing 15/8.

And with that you're able to fill the measure with 15/8, not 17?
If so I'd really like to see the score

All right, here is the .mscz file.
The measure number is 13.

There must have been a corruption in that bar causing the problem.
I insert a bar before the problem one, set the time signature to 15/8 and then manually copied your notes to it.
I then deleted your 15/8 bar and noticed that the rests in the following bar were funny, which again suggested a corruption, so I deleted that too.
I think that has fixed it for you.
Nice song btw :)

Thanks for your analysis. Glad you liked it.

I've just tried to reproduce this in 1.3 in Windows 8 and creating the 15/8 time signature works flawlessly.
This suggests there may be a corruption somewhere in your score, so we really need to see it to establish exactly what has gone wrong.
Make sure you attach the mscz file itself, not a picture of the score.
