It looks to me like just a simplification of UI, combining what was previously two dialogs launched from two different menu choices, into a single dialog. And they added one feature, control over clef copying -- it's not clear from the graphic of the new dialog, but it looks awfully like they've made clef copying intelligent, but it's not clear if this just means "copy all the clefs if the basic clef of the destination staff is the same as that of the source staff" or if it's smart enough to do things like choose appropriate clef changes for different destination staves, say, copying a viola part to a cello line might choose a tenor clef for the destination. In any event, it seems like a real improvement only if the things that don't copy properly start copying properly -- more control over features that don't actually work as expected is hardly helpful! -- David W.
