JD,
As I explained to Chris, this is *not* a problem with normal copy/paste behavior, even in 2k5. I rely on normal copy/paste behavior to *fix* the problem.
There's definitely something else going on here.

But as Christopher pointed out, I think this is normal pre-2k5 behavior even
with normal copy/paste operations. Even from within the same file. I'm
still making an arduous switch OS X an Fin 2005, so I can't really comment
on the new copy behavior.

JD,
I have never run Mass Copy on this document, nor copied anything from any other document.

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.

I've posted on this topic before, but to review:
I've found that many of my old scores which have been converted from
earlier versions of Finale have developed duplicate hairpins. In
other
words, there are two identical smart shape hairpins lying directly on
top of each other. (Most of the time I don't even notice, since I
almost always use the TGTools shortcuts to move hairpins, instead of
dragging them.)
When I first brought this up, some people suggested it might be the
fault of the new copying anomalies introduced in Fin2k5. I have to
admit, most of those have not bothered me, mainly because I almost
never use "Copy Everything," and I use note expressions (not measure
expressions) for virtually everything except rehearsal letters and
tempo indications, etc. But apparently some of the copying weirdness
in Fin2k5 affects smart shapes as well. Okay, I can understand that
when copying hairpins from one staff to the ones below, some
duplication might occur. Fine.
But now I find myself looking at a piece where I *know* for a fact
I've
never copied the hairpins in the sop. sax solo part to any other part.
And yet, almost all of the hairpins in that part have been duplicated.
Has anyone else seen this?
The other thing is that there are never more than two hairpins. I
would expect, if there were some kind of copying anomaly that caused
hairpins to spawn clones, they would just keep piling up, but they
don't. When the hairpins have been duped, there's always just two of
them, no more.
I'm trying to pinpoint this behavior a little better so I can file a
report with Coda. Has anyone else seen their hairpins duplicated like
this? If so, under what circumstances?
