if it's a bug, I'm glad it's there - I often have situations where I need artics applied to more than one layer. Having to manually switch to all layers involved, would add lots of time to the process.

One can always display only one layer and then apply the macro - that way you will only get artics in that layer - and if you assign a macro for showing layers (with Quickeys for instance), then setting that up goes real fast.

My 2 cents,

I don't know why I haven't seen this before, but in Finale 2007 (and probably 2008) if you use the macro method to apply articulations, the articulations get attached to notes in every layer instead of just the layer you are working on.

I don't believe this is a feature, because previous versions didn't behave this way and it isn't a good way to work. (It also contradicts the way most other tools work, except Smart Tools.)

To elaborate: In the articulation tool, hold down, say, number 1 (staccato for me), draw a box around some notes, including notes in other layers, and let go. All the notes in all the layers get staccatos.

Is this bug well known or reproducible on other systems?
