I can't copy or paste script text, either within a script, from script to script, or to an outside program. Any suggestions? FInale has had me do a complete clean reinstall, but has since stopped responding.

I assume you mean MakeMusic had you do a complete reinstall? Inane! You can't copy and paste in the script "editor" (also inane). Each script is in an XML (not MusicXML) file, so you could edit those. They're in some place like

C:\Users\Ewindels\AppData\Roaming\MakeMusic\Finale 2014.5\FinaleScript

But there's metadata in there with the actual lines of script.
