Changing meter from 4/4 to 5/4 without changing note placement

[bo.lundby.jaeger]

I want to change meter from 4/4 to 5/4 keeping the note entries in each bar?

One way would be to add a time signature of 5/4 to bar 6. (=select the first note b and type Shift-M, 5/4, Enter)
Then select the 5/4 time signature, copy it - and backwards paste it to every first note in the bar.

Hi @bo.lundby.jaeger,

Then select the 5/4 time signature, copy it - and backwards paste it to every first note in the bar.

the above method suggested by @k_b, works better with Insert mode (Global Adjustment of current bar) activated, to input a quarter rest automatically at the end of each bar (if this is what you need)

Here my suggested alternative workflow (from left to right, also using Insert mode (Global Adjustment of current bar):
