Select all red boxes on staves after adjustment

[jjm_335]

Is there any way to select more than one of the red boxes at the bottom left of a staff after it has been manually adjusted?

Like this?

Use a marquee or CTRL/CMD + Click all but the first box.

I don’t know what I’m doing wrong. If I use the marquee, I get nothing but the blue boxes on the top left. I can CMD-click each red box individually, but this takes a long time. Can you explain exactly how you get the marquee to work?

Hi, @jjm_335 ,
(sorry, I probably misinterpret your desire…, anyway I leave the below selection tip in any case…)

Selection tip

select one box (the big ones are system related, the little ones are staff related) and then click Shift + down arrow (or up arrow) to extend the selection for further boxes of the same kind (system or staff):

Here an example, first for system boxes, and then for staves boxes selection:

Sounds like you might be in Engrave Mode. Does this look more like what you’re seeing?

If so, the only way I could fine was CMD + CLICK.

ADDENDUM: I just saw @Christian_R’s post and tried it on my grand staff, but it selected the lower-L box on upper and lower staves. (Not sure if you happen to be using a grand staff, @jjm_335.) Is there a similar keyboard shortcut for selecting just the upper or lower staff in a grand staff?

Just use the “Reset Staff Spacing” option.

Thanks all. Now I have TWO good options!
