copied a show of 1000+ pages in a weekend!

Steve,
There are ways to speed workflow in Finale, but they take time to set up.
QuicKey macros and shortcuts can help. I know copyist/engravers who have
pretty elaborate set ups with extra keyboards (I use a small one) to trigger
QuicKeys to reduce buried menu items and dialog box selections

This seems like a good idea to me. I am so used
It didn't take me long to find an example of something that trips me up.
I can't double-click an accidental to move it nor to take me to its
tool.
I also can't click one to choose to hide it.
I do know where the accidental mover is in the special tools but I
think that all elements in a GUI
Yes. For me escape key once takes me there - on mac.
The trouble with complaining about things like this is that it always
seems petty to ask for one mouse click rather than two.
But workflow *is* petty and those clicks add up. ;-)

Not sure if you're aware of a couple of keyboard shortcuts that help me with
this: hitting the escape key twice takes you to the selection tool;
double-clicking an item (in the selection tool) takes you to that item's
tool.

In general I'd like to be able to move anything anywhere, hide
anything at all and lose the space given to hidden items if and only
if I want.

Michael,
Try this (assuming you have TGTools installed):
TGTools > Modify > Transfer...
It will let you copy bar layouts, etc. from one place to another (from a
laid-out separate part file to a linked part in another file, or from one
linked part to another within the same file). You'll still ha
TG Tools Pro has Transfer... Layout for system breaks. You still have
to nudge everything you nudged in the part, though, and adjust
measure widths if you changed any.

Any advantages to the part-extraction method are much more than made

Since I'm of the "old school" Finale users, having really cut my teeth on
the program almost ten years ago, I never was used to the idea of linked
parts, so I have continued doing the usual extraction method. I'm starting to
regret this, especially as I didn't realize that this "unlinks" the
