Only a week or so ago, there was a discussion on this list RE
copying layout info, page textblocks, and measure expression
assignments from one file to another on the Mac (2K7a). If someone
were to repost that, I'd be grateful.
Yep, I kept that one myself!
Here it is, from jef chippewa:

hey chuck (et al) - yep. it's clunky, but:
1. TGTools: modify: transfer: layout: beat charts and measure widths
2. layout tool: **before** doing layout (*) select "apply to PT/SC"
in "edit system margins" dialogue and select the instruments you want
the changes to apply to (!!!!! remember to change it back to this
part only once done!!!) and set system layout as you wish
3. layout tool: using fit measure options cmd-sh-f set measures per
system (*)
oh yeah you should also perhaps create MM rests in target parts, if
not done already.
(*) both of these are possible to do afterwards, with the selection
of SC/PTs as described above.: click on a system and hit "apply" in
system margins dialogue; click on a system, press cmd-sh-f and return.
now... i might have just discovered that TGTools may have been the
cause of the massive amount of duplicate page text blocks i mentioned
a couple of hours ago, now back from printing, i didn't do much else
except copy measure data across 60 instruments (several measures
require very special treatment in many instruments), but don't really
have time for more experimentation right now... in fact i should be
pounding through parts rather than writing this email...
