I would like to draw your collective attention to the following snippet from Jari's review:
<QUOTE> Since all the copying options appear in one single dialog box, the separate Copy Everything menu item has now been removed. One side effect of this is that you can't have a custom set of copying options while you still copy everything as you could do in earlier Finale versions. </QUOTE> Remember some time back that I warned that sometimes programs take away features as well as add them. I consider the removal of Copy Everything to be major takeaway. It now applies both to drag operations as well as clipboard copying. It has two major implications besides the already huge one that Jari mentioned. 1) It means you are required to navigate dialog boxes to change anything about Mass Edit behavior and 2) TG Tools Smart Explosion (and similar plugins) no longer can know for sure they are copying everything. If you don't have it right when you start, you will have to undo and start over. You are probably SOL if you are already copying everything except articulations and you fail to notice until it is too late. If (like I do) you think the willful removal of the Copy Everything menu item is as confiscatory and arbitrary as I do, please let MM know separately. I've already said as much to them as will do any good: perhaps more. Perhaps the only thing that can make a difference now is a groundswell of protest. _______________________________________________ Finale mailing list [email protected] http://lists.shsu.edu/mailman/listinfo/finale
