Also,
I use this copying method extensively. In FinMac2006c, the tweaks and
changes they made to the copying behaviours seem to have nailed it.
1. Select the passage you want to copy from.
2. Opt-shift click on the first measure you want to copy TO (I don't
know the Windows key. Maybe alt-shift?)
3. The dialogue box pops up, containing BOTH measure AND entry items,
and you can choose what you want. Furthermore, the dialogue box
remembers the previous settings. Typically, if I want to copy slurs, I
will just click the "None" box under Entries, then click "Smart Shapes
Assigned to Notes" and hit OK.
This behaviour differs from previous versions of Finale in one
important way: opt-shift clicking USED to be the same as drag-and-drop;
but now drag-and-drop does NOT give you the dialogue box that opt-sh
clicking gives you. So if you know for sure that you are going to want
the same items copied as the last time, use drag-and-drop to skip the
dialogue box.

Check the items you want to copy, and then when you perform a "mass
edit" operation, only those items will copy. Slurs and other
articulations are very handy to copy in this manner. -LK

I spend a lot of time tweaking slurs in string runs. Is there way
just to
copy and paste the slur onto the next
series of notes, to keep everything consistent looking, versus
re-inventing
the wheel everytime I need a slur?
