Meter Change Creates Incorrect Number of Beats in the Following Bar

[Mark_Johnson]

Two important points:

1. Changing meters in Dorico is non-destructive. So if you input a meter and everything looks wrong after that, don’t panic. Just add the correct meter where it goes and everything will be back the way it was.
2. When you want a different meter for one bar, try:

How do I put in a Stopper Time Signature for ONE MEASURE ONLY?

Also, with insert mode, the 4th scope, Global Adjustment of Current Bar, you can insert or delete notes or rests freely and Dorico fixes up the meters for you.
