Thanks Jari for your latest plugins - I look forward to using them when they get to OS X. It's very generous of you.

In case you are looking for any further ideas:

How feasible (or not) would be a plugin that adds a smart shape for the duration of the selected region?

e.g. have a section selected, and then it adds a smart shape to that.

The reasons why this would be useful:

- it would enable adding e.g. crescendos to multiple selected staves at once. Furthermore these would presumably be the same length, which is not easily possible to achieve at present (it's necessary to use Robert Patterson's Mass Copy plugin). The result would be better, visually.

- it would make it easier to apply smart shapes to longer regions that go across pages in Scroll View. At present as you would know, it's necessary to scroll across, reselect the smart shape, click and drag the end of it to the edge of the page, repeat as necessary.

- it would avoid the dreaded unwanted smart shape artifact when, by adding smart shapes manually, the smart shape inadvertently extends into the start of the following bar and thus onto the following system across a system break.

Anyway, just for your consideration,

Matthew
