Thanks for that tip -- I guess it's time for me to sit down
and read that book! :-)

Hi David,
That was a change for easier full staff selection when dragging staves.
Instead of right-clicking on a handle and choosing Edit Staff Attributes, try
double-clicking on a measure in that staff. That will open Staff Attributes as
well.

I'll get things rolling:
I finally tried 2011 to see if a procedure worked and I was
surprised that when I selected the Staff tool
double-clicking on the staff handle didn't do anything other
than select the entire staff. In 2010 and earlier when I
used to double click on the handle it brought up the Staff
Attributes dialog. Now I have to right click and then
select Edit Staff Attributes from the drop-down menu.
Interesting change -- how is that an improvement, exactly?
I guess it's an improvement because now I can select the
entire staff easily, but it's not an improvement because
it's an abrupt change in working methods. Since something
has to be on a drop-down menu, why not leave the
double-click as it was (opening the Staff Attributes Dialog)
and have the "Select entire Staff" option on the drop-down menu?
I can see this will be an interesting learning curve (or
un-learning curve, as it may be) to get up to speed with 2011!
