Hello,
Is there a way to quickly duplicate the staff attributes from one staff to another? For example, I've got everything set up exactly the way I want it for a 5-line banjo tab and want to transfer over all of those settings I've tweaked into a 6-line guitar tab. When I change the instrument in the score manager, I lose all of those tweaks.
Thanks,
PS. And yes, this is in the same document.

There is a plugin called Global Staff Attributes, but I don't think all the settings are there. I know the setting for stems isn't (stem direction, how they attach to noteheads, etc.).

Could you use a Staff Style? Staff > Define staff styles > New etc.
And instead of copying anything, just apply the staff style to where you want it? (Staff > Select measures > Apply Staff Style To...)Finale 26.3, 27.4.1
