Ah, yes. I was thinking of the part extraction dialog box, where command-click is used for discontinuous selection (as is the Mac standard). [BTW, command-clicking to bring up the master tool palette is just plain weird. What a terrible abuse of UI conventions.] >And a group will always include the staves in-between. Not exactly. What I had in mind was selecting discontinuous staves by shift-clicking, programming a staff set, then creating the group while viewing the staff set. This only half works -- you can create a group containing discontinuous staves with this method, but you cannot extract these staves as a group (it doesn't show up in the staff extraction dialog). So your solution is probably best, although I would add the proviso that you want to Save As a different file before performing this operation, so you can have separate documents for the full score and the conductor's score. - Darcy ------ [EMAIL PROTECTED] Boston, MA _______________________________________________ Finale mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://mail.shsu.edu/mailman/listinfo/finale
