Is it possible to assign shortbut keys to move betweeen layers 1, 2, 3 and 4? I can see its possible to define specified tasks but cannot see that it covers moving between layers. This facility would really help. Thanks,

Actually there are keyboard shortcuts to the layers.

In my Mac version of Finale the keyboard shortcuts are
Option-Command-1
Option-Command-2
Option-Command-3
Option-Command-4

I believe that the shortcuts in the Windows version are something similar - perhaps
Shift-Alt-1
Shift-Alt-2
Shift-Alt-3
Shift-Alt-4

For even faster switches, I used the Mac Keyboard shortcuts to program F5 and F6 for layers one and two.
