I am just a newbie to Fin12, but I am coming to really hate the Score Manager. I suppose if I had never learned the old way it wouldn't seem so bad, but I'm an old dog, and this seems like a new trick of little value.
Up until now I had refrained from whining about the Score Manager because I hadn't really worked with it for real and because I couldn't see that it was really worse, rather just (arbitrarily) different. But this issue of change of transposition seems like a regression to me. Under the new scheme I can no longer look at the page and see where the transposition changes are. (Before, you could turn on staff style display and see at a glance.) Also, it means you can no longer copy a transposition from one area to another the way you could copy staff styles. (At least with my Mass Copy plugin, although I think it was possible in Finale itself too.) Someone explain to me why I am a whiner.
