Transitioning from Finale. Imported a XML file. Most of it came in OK, but the last chorus was garbage, and some of it was moved an eighth note forward. I am trying to repair, but the software won’t let me remove rests to correct the misplacement of some notes. For instance, I have a measure beginning with a eighth note that really belongs in the previous measure. I can add an eighth note to the previous measure, but when I go to delete the eighth note in the next measure the software allows me to change it to a rest, but not delete it entirely. What to do?
Don’t add or remove notes or rests, move the music!
- Select the entire music you want to move.
- Make sure that the Rhythmic Grid is set to an eighth note.
- Press ⌥← (ALT ←)
Welcome to the forum, @rabissell !
You can correct this by:

- Setting the scope to Global
- Select a note or rest of the duration that you want to move music back (to the left) by
- Press Delete
- Deactivate Insert mode
