If you want a dot after the slash in compound meters, such as 6/8, check the Add dots to slashes in compound meters checkbox. In cut time, for example, there would be two slashes per bar. Select this alternate notation style to fill every measure with one slash per beat.

This dialog box allows you to fill the selected staff with one of several alternative notation styles, such as slashes, measure repeats, or blank measures. Beside the Alternate Notation checkbox, click Settings.The Staff Attributes dialog box or the Staff Styles dialog box appears, respectively.
