I haven’t seen this mentioned anywhere, so just posting this in case someone would benefit from it.
For most (though not all) types of items, you can select the first one, Ctrl/Cmd-click to select the last one, then use Ctrl/Cmd-Shift-A (Select More) to select all items within that range.
@dan_kreider I’m glad you made this thread. I hadn’t seen @pianoleo’s previous mention of this. I had no idea this was a thing. Funny how all these little things can slip by.
Another way’s it’s useful is if you want to select passages in a score on non-adjacent staves, you can select the end points on multiple non-contiguous instruments and it will select everything in between on just those staves.
