14 Clunky text selection for expressions etc.
I assume this is a complaint about our word menu system (where you
right-click during text input for a useful menu of terms to input
into the score). This is actually pretty flexible (e.g. you can
create your own shortcuts both for text styles and for individual
text items within those text styles), and Sibelius, for example, has
*always* been able to mix fonts in text expressions, something which
I understand Finale has only recently been able to do.
My understanding is Sibelius still does not have any method of
expression entry that is as fast as Finale's context-sensitive
metatools. And as Richard Yates discovered, entering articulations is
still much faster and more flexible using Finale's metatools. (Does
Sibelius have anything to compare with Finale's "drag-enclose notes
while holding metatool key" method to assign an articulation to
multiple notes in multiple staves, all in one step?)
Hmm.
Selecting several notes and then hitting "/" on the keypad is not what
you want?
