Darcy, I found this happened to me while assembling individual files into one score. The main nemesis for me was Robert's Mass Copy plugin. When I selected a range of source measures, and then simply copied it into the target file, everything was replaced EXCEPT any measure attached Smart Shapes. It left duplicates exactly as you describe. The workaround was pretty easy. Before pasting in with the plugin, I used the Clear button in the plugin or just cleared the target measures out before pasting. Problem eliminated. And QuicKeys made the whole process mindless.
I was working in FinMac 2K3 under OS 9 when I encountered this problem. *************************** J.D.

If so, under what circumstances? _______________________________________________ Finale mailing list [email protected] http://lists.shsu.edu/mailman/listinfo/finale
