Partial measure selection is quantized to the beat. For example, 4/4 can only select durations consisting of full quarter notes. However, if you temporarily change the target section to 8/8 instead of 4/4 you can copy starting on "4 and" since Finale's beat is now an eighth note. Then you can change the signature back to 4/4 and it should look the way you want. Finale will not change notes that span beat 3 into two tied notes, though, so you have to be on the lookout and change this yourself. -- Brad Beyenhof [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://augmentedfourth.blogspot.com _______________________________________________ Finale mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://lists.shsu.edu/mailman/listinfo/finale
