c) A clipboard!! Be able to copy and name sections like "Verse",

Clip files ARE pretty easy already. Are you using keyboard commands,
rather than mousing it all the time? On the Mac, cmd-opt-C makes a
clip file, cmd-opt-V pastes it in, while cmd-opt-I inserts it. You
still have to make sure you have set the things you want copied, but
it is hard to imagine a plugin making this any easier.
You can also use the computer's clipboard, but it can't hold more than
one thing at a time. It seems to me that there is already something
like this available as a third-party program - nothing to do with
Finale, but it is supposed to work with almost any program. Does
somebody know what this could be?
One more option that you might not have though of. In the Window menu
(not the WindowS menu!) click New Window. This will be a duplicate of
the file you now have open. Select Tile Windows. You can now have both
windows in two different places, so you can drag and drop say, bars 1
to 32 from one window to drop it onto bar 65 in the other window. The
two windows can be at different resolutions, too, and you can resize
them as you like. This is as close to a clipboard as I think we can
manage, though you could also have another, different file open and
call it Verse if you want, and drag and drop from there.
