Well, while we're "admitting" this kind of thing, I'll 'fess up to something even more basic: I just recently realized that all the features that Mac users have talked about using the CLEAR key are implemented on Windows using the BACKSPACE key. This means that if you want to clear the notes in a group of measures, you highlight with Mass Mover and hit BACKSPACE (CLEAR). I never knew that and had always used the menu for it. The same thing works with removing staff styles, which is a very good thing for all the copying I've been doing to assemble single files from individual movements, as the staff styles in the inserted measures all get competely misplaced and have to be removed and re- applied. Have I mentioned recently how broken Finale's copying mechanisms are? -- David W.
