I think there was a discussion here on this but I couldn't find it. When using a dotted quarter with a triplet 3 as an abbreviation of three triplet eights, it seems impossible to copy that pattern without Finale 'correcting' it to straight quarters. I now have a job with a great number of these abbreviated rhythms, and it would be great if there was a way to copy the pattern.
Any ideas?

Anders Hedelin,
When you select the measure with the triplets, use Stack Selection.
Then you can copy the measure with the triplets, without the triplets getting “retranscribed”.
I just tried it, and it works for me.
The tricky part is, how to make a Stack Selection of a single staff in a multi-staff document.
Here is the secret:
Use a Staff Set of only that single staff.
