It doesn't for me. It may change the clef in the problem measure, but that I still need to have a mid-measure clef change, and it still won't let me apply that to the offending measure. > Anyway, I've never had a problem with copying clef changes in drag > and drop, it all seems to work fine, including copying across clefs > or not as the case may be with the mass mover selections. Well, then, what version of Finale are you using? I never used to have problems, but I upgrade from WinFin97 to WinFin2K3 -- that's when I started having problems. And maybe the problem happens only with files created with older versions of Finale. I don't know, as my files are a hodge-podge of files based on templates based on files created in earlier versions (97, 3.52 and 2.01). If copying were reliable, I'd just create a new file and copy everything into it, but the problem is that there are way too many things that don't get copied, or that get mucked up during the copy. -- David W.
