Sometimes it's a huge chunk of one or a monster chunk of the other, with no way to decide which method is more time-consuming. It should be easier! Yes, it should. There should be an option in the save library dialog called "Save Metatool Assignments Library" where all metatool assignments for all tools are saved in a library which can be opened into any document in one easy step. -- David H.

Re: [Finale] How to select a TOOL with a keyboard shortcut ?
I've got 2009 on a MacBook. I just tried it, and it works as described: control-option and the key (fghjkl;) to bring up the palate to program it, then control and the key after that to select it. If it doesn't work, I don't know? Caps-lock on? Maybe trash your preferences and try again? It seems the programmed tools don't save with the preferences? At least they don't save when "save preferences on quit" is checked. They do save with the specific file. I find myself reprogamming every time I start a new file.
