    It would nice to have the option to duplicate an existing measure (include formatting) and copy/paste the format of a measure (like Format Painter).

    At least as part of a general theme of being able to edit larger numbers of measures more efficiently.

    RE: Duplicate Measure and Format Copy

    I totally agree with that idea. Today I had the problem that I calculated multiple values in ranges. From 0 - 50 and from 50 - 100 and from 100 - 200 and so on. It would have been easier just to copy and paste the measures and edit only the parameters.
