Complete one measure containing hairpins, attaching the hairpins to your
measure. Then:

MassEdit --> Copy Measure Items --> Smart Shapes (Attached to Measures)

Then select your "source" measure with Mass Edit It must be the entire
measure, otherwise you get a message "There is nothing selected to copy". If
Select Partial Measures is off, then you don't need to preselect your source
measure, because it will be selected in its entirety automatically.

On PC, you press and hold CONTROL. Then you left-click on the source measure
and drag it to where you want the hairpins. Finale then asks you how many
times to copy the hairpins. If your excercises all have the same rhythmical
hairpin allocation then you can enter the number of measures remaining in
the piece. The notes don't change, just the hairpins. If you had already
placed hairpins in any of the destination measures, they will all be
replaced with the new source.
