Re: extract parts
Extract Parts is the old way to do it, which some people still use for various reasons. That creates individual files for each extracted part. The more modern way is Linked Parts which means that if a change is made in the score, it is also made in the part. My recommendation for you would be Linked...

Re: extract parts
It has been a long time since I extracted parts, preferring linked parts. But I believe before extracting you have to Manage Parts under Document; in other words, define the parts to be extracted.

Re: Mass edits for smart shape tool (and ties)
Is Paste Multiple what you are looking for? You would need to use the edit filter to just choose Smart Shapes.

Re: Lyrics too close to barline
Usually with lyrics the barline is only on the staff, not between the staves, so this wouldn't be a problem.

Re: Missing Measure Numbers
Using F27 I opened a template and did an extraction, and the measure numbers are there on the extracted parts. Check Motet's suggestion, or compare your settings to a template.

Re: Problem with shortcuts in System Settings (Mac)
Fortunately I don't use 27 or Sonoma for most of my work other than testing, so I will be patient.

It has worked fine for me in previous OS versions but with 14.2.1 when I get to the setup page it allows me to put in the Main Title, but not the menu comman...

Not what you're looking for, but two dotted 8ths does the same thing as a duplet.

Re: notation help - notes alternating hands
I would start the upper part with an invisible 32nd rest and that will push all the 16ths to the right, between the lower voice 16ths. Then use Special Tools > Secondary Beam Adjustment to do the feathering.

Re: Asterisk function not working for Articulations

Re: Only one note is tied
How are you making the tie? In Speedy, it depends on where the cursor is. If it is on a note, it ties that note. If it is between notes it ties them all.

Re: Barline behavior
To me that looks like a barline setting of Only Between Staves with a hidden system or something like that. Is there another system in Scroll View?

Not necessary since you got it working, but in Speedy I dragged the G down to F and then ++ for the double sharp.
