Darcy, That deletes the entire bar for it's unbroken length, not just the selected measure (or part of a measure.) That was the great function that the Clear key had before. I would typically apply slash notation to the whole staff, then clear out a bar or two or a beat or two here and

That Arbitrary bit has been a strange piece for a long time--all the areas in and around time sigs and key sigs are sort of a No Man's Land and have been for a long time. I think they set out to try and correct this when selection was redone and discovered that it was far more than trivial
