I'm still learning the Mac-Finale way.
Is there a shortcut for clear items, in the Mass Menu. The
backspace key erases the content and the bars as well. The manual
says Shift-Delete, but I'm not able to make this work. Will I need
a custom made shortcut from IKey?
Is it possible that you are not using an American keyboard layout? I
have my Mac set to use an American layout for Finale, and a French
Canadian layout for when I need it. I have noticed that some
keystrokes are not the same if I keep the French layout in FInale, so
I use the American one.
But in any case, if you have a full keyboard (not a laptop layout)
then the Delete key that is above the arrow keys, between the alpha
keys and the numerical keys, will clear items.
But be careful, as it doesn't clear everything, like Measure
Expressions. Even the menu item Clear Items... you can set it to
clear Measure Attributes, for example, and it won't change the Break
Multimeasure Rests settings in the selected measures. This has caught
me several times.
