If the score dates from before these kinds of articulations were “smart”, they might resist editing in the usual way.
I suggest loading in a modern version of the articulation or smart shape from a new file. The easy way to do this is to create a measure in a new document, enter a note and assign every articulation and Smart Shape you are likely to need, and copy that measure to your target document. Hit Clear immediately after copying it in, and the articulations and Smart Shapes will be there in the selection dialogue boxes now. Assign a metatool (say, A to the accent) and select the accent you want to replace, double tap A, and the new articulation will be there. Smart Shapes don’t have as easy a way, unfortunately. You’ll just have to delete and replace them. If there is some sort of corruption in the file (very common, in my experience!) you might have to “launder” the file. Copy the contents into a fresh, modern file all at once (so you preserve time signature and key changes) but you will still lose all titles and page formatting. If the corruption is very tenacious, then export as Music XML and import it into a new document. Christopher > On Jul 21, 2017, at 11:57 AM, Elizabeth R.
