Wow, what version are you upgrading from? I don't ever even remember
that, and I started in 3.2!

It's in the Edit menu, about halfway down. We all wish there was a
one-click keystroke to toggle that on and off, but it hasn't happened
yet. Remember to uncheck it when you're done, as you get wacky results
drag copying when you THINK you've selected a whole measure, but haven't
really.
Found it, and found the edit toolbar as well. Thanks for all your help!!
I take it you are using Simple Entry? That's the tool that causes the
most crowding. It has been considerably reworked in recent versions, so
I hope you are taking advantage of all the new functions.
I almost never use it. I disliked it in the old version, and haven't
checked out the new functions - I only installed the program Thursday night.
You're among friends here, and we all use our real names. We would
appreciate knowing yours, too.

Sorry - on other lists everyone knows my name, but although I subscribed
a while ago, I rarely never post here.
I bought Finale several years ago and learned enough to turn out decent
looking choral scores - I was transcribing a bunch of early music into
modern notation & doing a few other things for a choir I used to sing
with - but haven't learned more than a tiny fraction of what the program
can do yet. I'm taking a notation course at university this term, and
they are using Finale on Macs, but I asked for & received permission to
do my assignments on my PC at home & upgraded so that I could have the
same version as they have. I'll still have to learn how to use the Mac
version by the end of term so that I can do the final test at school,
but at least this way I can work on learning the program, and not end up
falling behind while I try to learn a different computer as well.
