In order to copy time signature changes along with the music you must select the full stack of measures. Time signatures also must be checked in the Edit Filter dialog box. See To copy and paste stacks.
If Time Signatures is not checked, and music is copied to a target region of a different time signature, Finale does not rebar the music. In other words, if the source contains full measures, the target measure(s) will either be unfilled or overfilled.
In the example below, the first measure has been copied to measure 2 and measure 3.with Time Signature unchecked in the Edit Filter dialog box.
To delete extra notes in overfilled measures (such as measure 3), navigate to them using the arrow keys using Speedy Entry or Simple Entry. Then press the DELETE key. To redistribute these extra notes into subsequent measures automatically, rebar music. To automatically fill empty portions of measures (such as beat 4 of measure 2 above) with rests, use the Fill with Rests utility (Utilities menu > Check Notation > Fill with Rests).
