Copying music to off-screen targets

Now you have to copy this music to the end of the piece. Here’s another keyboard shortcut. This one, used for copying music from one place to another in Finale, works like this:

You’ve already selected the source measures, so proceed as follows:

  1. While pressing , click measure 14 (Mac: , click measure 14). That’s a very useful trick to remember: -clicking (-clicking) the target measure is the same as dragging the image of the source measures onto the target measures.
  2. Click OK (or press ). That’s all there is to it! You’ve entered all the music for your first lead sheet.

To copy specific items, select the measures with the Selection Tool, then click (Mac:  - click) on the target measure to display the Items to Copy dialog box where you can choose specific items to copy.
