Meter refuses to be hidden

[IanMc]

Oh dear... hope I'm not too late in replying. Your barber would be very upset with me

He should be ok as I've still got a good supply (at the moment).

There's a usability issue lurking here. When you click on the meter to bring up the "Change Meter" box, there is a "Split Measure" section in the middle, which check box should be empty in this situation. If you uncheck that box, and check the "Hide" box at the top, then the meter will indeed hide properly.

Thanks Sherry. Well, I tried unchecking both boxes and all that happens is the 3/4 time signature changes to blue (highlighted). It just won't disappear. Strange... something set elseware that shouldn't be.

I did not run into this problem of the Shift-M taking a long time to produce the Meter palette. But I did this on first opening your file. Perhaps there was something else going on in the background? (eg. a file autosave of this or another song you were working on at the same time?)

Yes, that may have been it. It's fine now. Thanks.

Sorry - I'm lost here. Step 6 of what procedure?

I should have been clearer with this, sorry. It's step 6 in the User Guide under "Creating an upbeat measure".

Cheers and thanks Sherry for your (as always) fast response.
