Is there a way to select a range of measures and flip all accidentals from sharp to flat or reverse? I know that it can be done on a limited basis in Speedy and in Note Mover. I expected I could find an answer in JW Change but I don't see it.

Depending on what you have selected in Edit > Enharmonic Spelling (Favor Sharps or Flats), Utilities > Respell Notes will flip all accidentals in a selected region

So, a guy passes out a new arrangement at a big band rehearsal.
He said, "Let's run through it, the first time just for the Notes.
Then we'll add the Sharps and Flats later...!"
