I'm sorry to revert that again. Forwardselection of barlines is only possible if followed by an empty measure. I request that selecting barlines is possible all the time. Otherwise paste has try to guess if the user wants a tailing measure break if he selects a complete measure. This will go wrong in 50% of the cases, which is not acceptable. So please make it possible that a selection from left to right can end in a barline.
I hope this is my last change of observation and opinion :) Nils On Tue, 1 Mar 2011 19:38:47 +0100 Nils Gey <[email protected]> wrote: > I was wrong about not beeing able to select barlines when selecting from left > to right.
