Selecting several measures by shift-clicking

It turns out that there’s a common technique for selecting large amounts of material—in word processors, spreadsheets, and even music programs. It’s called -clicking. You can use this technique to select the four measures you want to copy. It works like this:

  1. Click the Selection Tool  image\Selection_Tool.gif then click measure 6.
  2. While pressing , click measure 9. Measures 6 through 9 are now selected.

As a matter of fact, there’s yet another way to select a range of measures that’s especially handy for selecting large regions, because you don’t have to scroll to the endpoint to -click. It’s the Select Region command in the Edit menu. You’ll read more about it in a moment.
