assign slurs to multiple staves

hey all,
I could not find how to add slurs to multiple staves at once. I am sure this can be done in finale?
I am not interested in adding slurs on at a time.
I tried looking thru TG tools but didn't come up with anything.
thoughts?
thanks

adding octaves?

hey all,
I am on a pc and was wondering is there a fast way to add octaves to a phrase/exercise? I am looking for a key stroke that I can create to simply add Octave part to a brass line, thinking there must be an easier way than transposing or programing a switch..>?
thanks again!

what you suggested worked! I didn't know that depending what layer you use will dictate stem directions..
what a hard program..I hope get thru this.

Hello all, just wondering when using text for various reasons. (I.e. creating worksheets giving directions to musicians can you have a special default for font size and particular font?

slurs question

Hello all, I understand if I want to change slurs I have to go to the smart slur option dialog box. I know I have to play with settings in regards to horizontal and vertical, but was wondering if there's an easier way to create thinner slurs? Perhaps something with TG tools?
