You can copy any musical elements—such
as articulations—from one passage to another. In this discussion, the
source region is the music that contains the articulations, and the target
region is the music to which you want to copy them.
- Click the Selection tool
.
- From the Edit menu, choose Edit Filter.
The Edit Filter dialog box appears.
- Select Articulations; then click OK (or press
ENTER).
You’ve just told Finale to copy and paste only articulation markings,
and to leave all other musical elements alone.
- Select the source region. See Selecting
music for some region-selecting shortcuts.
- Drag the selected region so that it’s superimposed
on the beginning of the target region. If the first target measure
is offscreen, scroll to it; then, while pressing CTRL and shift together, click it.
The Copy
Measures
dialog box appears (unless you drag to a region directly above or below
the source region). In that case, specify the number of times you want
the articulations copied, and click OK.
Finale
only copies articulations to notes that fall on the same beats as they
did in the source measures. The articulations maintain their positions
relative to the noteheads.
