To permit unlimited notes in one measure (Time Signature method)

Using this method, you can enter as many notes as you need and modify them easily later. With this method, you can also create inner voices that line up with each other.

1. Click the Time Signature Tool , and double-click the cadenza measure. The Time Signature dialog box appears.
2. Click the top right scroll bar arrow to increase the number of beats in the measure until it equals the total number of beats in the cadenza. For example, a 54/4 measure.
3. Click OK. A time signature appears in the cadenza measure and the next measure.
4. Click the Measure Tool ; double-click the barline handle of the cadenza measure. The Measure Attributes dialog box appears.
5. From the Time Signature popup menu, choose Always Hide.  
6. Click OK (or press return). Repeat for the measure after the cadenza.  

Alternatively, you can enter the notes as you would normally and hide the extra barlines. See To hide one barline.
