Hello

Is it still not possible to select non-contiguous items even with Finale 2012 for Windows ?

I need to make a double barline at the end of many different, non-contiguous measures and would like to find a quicker way to do this than just repeating over and over the several commands and mouse movements required for each individual bar.

If the multiple selection is not possible, is it possible to Script this command ??

Many thanks

Non-contiguous selection is still not possible, sorry.

I have not tried to make a double barline with FinaleScript, but I suggest that you ask your question in the FinaleScript forum:

Not a solution, but maybe a little time-saver : once the Measure Attributes window is open, you can leave it open and navigate from measure to measure at the top of the window to program barlines, etc... But of course you'll need to remember the measure numbers in your piece.

It's a little low-tech, I know, but I use pencil and paper for that!

.. or you can copy the desired measure, then, using the filter, Paste only the barline alteration to other measures...
