The Measure type is a Time Tag you'll only need to record in a separate pass (after recording normal Time Tags) if the meter changes during the section you're transcribing (and you haven't created these meter changes in the score in advance).
After selecting Measure from this menu, record your Measure Tags by tapping the downbeat of each measure. When you're finished, a small M appears at the top of the display area for each of your taps. If you then choose "Convert to Time Signatures" (see below), Finale automatically changes the meters for the corresponding measures in the score. With this method, you can automatically create a transcription of a complex-metered piece by tapping your Measure Tags where you feel each measure should begin; in this way you avoid having to calculate and insert the various time signatures manually.
