someone, please tell me what i am doing wrong!!!
thank you...

I'm presuming that you are using a 3/4 style.
In BiaB you cannot add a beat to a bar, you can only take one away.

There are two possible solutions:
1:
Add a bar at the point you want make the change to 4/4, then either make this bar 1 beat long (you will have a bar of 3/4 and a bar of 1/4), or make this and the preceding bar 2 beats long each. Both ways will give you a total of 4 beats over the two bars.

2:
Use a 4/4 style and change to 3 beats per bar at the start using F5 bar settings and then change it to 4/4 at the required bar.
