Selection Tool

If you’re flying along in the editing process and don’t want to bother switching tools, the Selection Tool can help speed you along. Click on the Selection Tool and click on any marking. Now you can move it, delete it, or right-click (Mac: -click) on it for a list of other editing commands. If you decide you need to do advanced editing, double-click on the marking to switch to the appropriate editing tool. You can return to the Selection Tool at any time by clicking --A (Mac: --A).

The Selection Tool works on Measures (Measure Tool), Notes (Simple Entry), Smart Shapes, Expressions, Articulations, Repeats, Lyrics, Chords, Text Blocks, Tuplets, Time Signatures, Key Signatures, Clefs, Ossias, Graphics, and Staff and Group Names. For more details, see Selection Tool.
