IWBNI there were a context menu for measures that have been selected with the mass mover tool that would be displayed when a selected measure is clicked with the right mouse button. As it is now, the hand grabber tool is selected temporarily when a selected measure is right clicked.

This could be implemented by using the staff tool as a model. When a region of measures is selected, selected measures are shown in reverse video. With the staff tool selected, if any reverse-video point on the display is right clicked, a context menu is displayed that contains the items Define Staff Styles, Apply Staff Styles and Clear Staff Styles. Also, there will be a menu item for any staff style for which the checkbox option Display in Context Menu is selected on the Staff Styles dialog box.

Similarly, if any reverse-video point within a selected measure is right clicked when using the mass mover tool, a context menu could be displayed. The context menu could include many of the items that are on the MassEdit menu such as Transpose as well as those on the Change and Utilities submenus. Also, user-specified items from the Plug-ins menu could be included.

Note to Readers: A new notification service for the IWBNI site is now available.
