I don't believe this is a feature, because previous versions didn't
behave this way
Previous versions had _different_ behaviour for single-click and
drag-enclose. The old click method made even less sense, for example
(describing how it used to work in the old Finale versions):
1. You have a 2-layer piece
2. You held down a metatool key and clicked a note, just to notice that
the metatool was placed on the other note layer
To elaborate: In the articulation tool, hold down, say, number 1
(staccato for me), draw a box around some notes, including notes in
other layers, and let go. All the notes in all the layers get staccatos.
...which is AFAIK how it has been since metatool-drag-enclosing of
articulation was introduced: it reflected MassEdit's "Apply
Articulation". I just tested your description in Finale 2003 and it
works just the same way.
Is this bug [...]
You're saying that a consistent behavior is more buggy?
