Edit/Set SmartFind Source

To use this command, select a region of music with the articulations, slur or other markings that you like. Note that the region must occur on a single staff, not spanning multiple staves, and the region must not begin with a rest. Only rhythms and markings in the current layer of the source region are used for the pattern matching and painting process. From the Edit menu, choose Set SmartFind Source Region. Next, use the Apply SmartFind and Paint command to copy or "paint" the markings onto notes of the same rhythmic pattern. Patterns in all layers of the target region are considered for matches.

Note: Paint can only be applied within the same score or linked part.
