Cut/Copy/Paste/Insert Improvements — New in Finale 2008

Finale’s streamlined, easy-to-use interface lets you focus on the music with less switching tools and more universal menu commands specifically designed to help you finish projects faster.

The most intuitive cut/copy/paste/insert for more efficient workflow

  • Use intuitive keystrokes to select measures or partial measures horizontally and vertically. No need to visit a menu.
  • Consistent clipboard- and drag-copying make it easy to copy all measure items, even between documents.
  • Quickly drag and drop music, even over highlighted regions. Make small adjustments easily, like shifting music a beat or two right or left.
  • Paste faster: no need to highlight the entire destination when clipboard-copying.
  • Get improved visual feedback when pasting and inserting.
    Different-colored cursors indicate how your music will be inserted.
