Mass copying articulations and slurs doesn't cover the
major functionality of SmartFind and Paint. SmartFind
and Paint looks for exact rhythmic matches. This means
you can set your source, highlight a large area (such
as the entire score), and apply the paste - it only
pastes onto exact rhythm matches.

I'm not sure I understand. In Finale, you wouldn't
select the notes first. You'd just hold down the
articulation metatool and click the notes or drag
select regions at a time, right? No matter what it
seems like Sibelius has at least one extra step -
after selecting you press the keypad key at least once
(assuming the articulation is on the current keypad).
