Select Partial Measures is on all the time in 2008. If you click on a measure, the entire measure is selected. If you drag AROUND a part of a measure, only the part of the measure is selected, unless you hold down the shift key, in which case the whole measure is selected. Read the page they sent you to. Lots of good info there to help you. Christopher Thank you Christopher, Aaron and Dick for the replies. That explains the absence of the menu item. The Finale Help is misleading though, in this particular instance, because when I clicked on Select Partial Measures in the Index, this is what I got: When you choose this command, the Select Region dialog box appears... etc. But there is no Select Partial Measures command, so what it is really doing is to explain the Select Region command. Or am I missing something? Should I report this to Coda? hmauro hmauro.com myspace.com/haroldomauro -- ___ Finale mailing list Finale@shsu.edu http://lists.shsu.edu/mailman/listinfo/finale

[Finale] Select partial measures
Hi, I'm returning to this list after being away for several years. I just upgraded from Finale 2002 to 2008 and I'm trying to catch up with the changes. My question is, where is the menu item Select partial measures or the equivalent to it?

Finale 2008 works as though select partial measures is always on, although it's much more accurate and flexible than the old select partial measures. To get a handle on how this all works, go to the Encyclopedia section of the help file and drill down to Selecting music under S. You'll see the various keyboard and mouse shortcuts for working with partial and full measure selection. Aaron. ___ Finale mailing list Finale@shsu.edu http://lists.shsu.edu/mailman/listinfo/finale
