Well, strangely enough, I liked the old way Finale copied music -- it copied clef changes by default (I'm talking about the COPY EVERYTHING situation). If you're copying large blocks of music, why *wouldn't* you want the clef *changes* copied along with the music, especially when the destination is on the same staff as the source? It seems to me that the "new" way (it changed some time between WinFin97 and WinFin2K3 for me) does this: A. copies music with clef changes in one staff to another staff without clef changes (good) B. copies music with clef changes to the same staff without clef changes (bad) The old way was: A. copies music with clef changes in one staff to another staff with clef changes (bad) B. copies music with clef changes to the same staff without clef changes (good) For me, the old way was far preferable, because I copy "horizontally" a lot more often than "vertically." In any event, I'd sure prefer it as an option for COPY EVERYTHING. I guess I could do it by choosing COPY ENTRY ITEMS and selection COPY ALL, but I'll never remember to do that! >From my point of view, it would be nice if this were something that were a settable preference, so I could permanently change it back to the old behavior, but I guess the workaround is OK. I'm not sure if it's more work to remember to do that or to just redo the clefs. -- David W.
