Ctrl+a but for one bar or a selection of bars?

I can’t figure this out, maybe someone can help?
Is it possible to select everything connected to a bar or a selection of bars, including chord symbols and other text, with a key command? So it would work in the same way as ctrl+a or draggin a box with the mouse around the selection.
Thanks!

Yes, use the system track. Alt-T to show it.

Thanks, but do you know if there is a way to do it without using the cursor?

You can add chord symbols to the selection with the keyboard using the new Add Chord Symbols to Selection feature in Dorico 6, but that won’t get other system-attached items. I agree this is something that should be possible.

Cool, I hope to see it in a future update! I’m really happy about the new update for selecting chord symbols with shift and click! Are there any plans for integrating the use of arrow keys + shift for selecting chord symbols as well?
