Hi Hiro,
Cmd+Option+V is Paste. You want insert from clip file. Here:
1. In the Mass Edit tool, highlight the measures in your source file that you want to copy to your target file.
2. Hold down the option key and go to Edit>Copy to Clip File
3. Choose a location for your file and name it...I usually place the the file on my desktop to find it easily.
4. Go to your target file...you'll need at least one blank measure in this document...highlight either the one blank measure (in the case of starting a whole new document) or add a blank measure where you want to insert the new "piece" (in the case that you are appending an exisiting document.) and highlight that blank measure.
5. Hold down the option key again and go to Edit>Insert from clip file.
6. Navigate to your clip file and click on open.
7. You should now have the new "section" in the new document.
***Note: The blank measure that you used to insert the clip file will appear as a blank measure at the end of the piece that you inserted. You can just delete this measure.
Take care,
Karen

I use the clip file feature to bring the score's form into the first part which will become my score/cue/composition template for that particular song.
Thanks everyone responding to my question. I was interested in this clip file feature. For a long time, I used to hope Finale can do Finder Clipping, i.e., select a region then drag it to Finder which creates a clipping file that can be dragged into another file, just like text clippings. Many DAW apps has this feature even for audio/MIDI data type, via the file which is dynamically linked to the clippings.
I just searched the manual and found the description of this feature. I Cmd+Opt+C from the source and Cmd+Opt+V to target. The resulted document did change the layout because the new source had a few more notes than the original. If I disable the AutoUpdate, the spacing gets kinda screwed especially where more accidentals are. I feel I missed something...?
