Thanks Robert! I did NOT know about this — and, of course, that solves it. Even better, if I ever need to see things again, I can quickly show them again.
So many things in this program to discover, even rather obvious things, that long-time users (I started with 1.0) still haven’t found. For example, only today I discovered I can change meter with the contextual menu by cntrl-clicking on a measure. So much faster!! Especially for 5/8 and 7/8, where the contextual menu gives subdivision choices! Why did I never know about that?
