Extra Time In Measure After Import

• Jan 23, 2019 - 14:41

Forget it... the issue turned out to be something with the original Finale file (that I also cannot figure out) but I have made it work. Thanks.

Hi everyone,

I imported an XML file from Finale and most of the import went very well. However, I have one measure that I cant seem to figure out. I am writing in 6/8 time and one of the measures after importing had an extra eighth note added in to it. It does not say that measure is in 7/8 time and when I edit the measure properties no matter what I do I cannot get rid of the extra eighth in the beginning of the measure. As a result, it shifts the entire piece one eighth note ahead of where everything should be. I am looking to delete the eighth rest at the beginning of the measure and bring the rest of my music back that eighth worth of time so everything is correct. I have attached an image for reference. The issue is in the first measure. Thanks in advance!

The picture doesn't help any and doesn't show the measure with the extra beat. What would be far more useful would be the xml the score came from.
