You don't have to use partial measure selection, *or* the apply

In the articulation tool, hold down the metatool for the articulation
you want, and then just drag enclose the notes you want.
I only wish note expressions worked like this too.
Yes, I know this perfectly well.
But it only works with CONTIGUOUS notes -- all the notes within the
drag area get the articulation applied.
If you hold down the Delete key (on a Mac, it might be Backspace on a
PC) and click on or drag across some notes in the Articulation Tool,
the articulations get deleted. You can use this if every 1st note needs
a tenuto, while the 2nd, 3rd, and 4th need stacattos. Give EVERY note a
staccato, then delete the first ones. Then add the tenutos. You could
also do this for one measure, then set Mass Edit to copy only
articulations, and drag and drop the measure everywhere else those
articulations are needed.
Sibelius offers a really easy method for doing this with non-
contiguous notes.
Finale does too, with the Smart Find and Paint option. This might be
too new for you (are you in Fin2003?)
