My entire score thinks it's in 3/4

[dhbailey]

I have spent a lot of time on this score today and suddenly Dorico thinks the entire piece is in either 3/4 or 6/8 – I really can’t tell because whenever I click for note entry I get only 3 8th-note slots per measure.
I have no clue what happened and I’d hate to have to start all over again – I am attaching the dorico file here for anybody to help figure out what the problem is and how to solve it.
The piece is copyrighted but I do have the permission of the copyright holder to create this full score so it is legal.
Thanks in advance for any help anybody can offer!

It’s because you have set the rhythmic grid to dotted quavers.

Hi @dhbailey, try to change the grid resolution to eight notes or something else. (Currently is set to dotted eight note value):

[@Janus was faster]

Oh boy, do I feel stupid! Is there a shortcut for changing the grid that I don’t know about and may have inadvertently hit?

Thanks for the solution!

There are several (which you can customise):

Many of us use key commands to set the rhythmic grid that mirror the note durations (I use ctrl-6 to set a crotchet grid and similar for other durations)

You can change it with alt-[ to increase the value of the grid; alt-] to decrease it.

thank you again for pointing that out – I must have inadvertently hit alt-[
