Can I delete all notes in a layer? [Solved]

New post

I have a TTBB score where the bass notes were all entered in layer 2 of the bottom bass clef. I want to delete all the bass notes, or essentially all notes in layer 2. Sounds pretty simple, but I can't find a way to do it without also deleting the baritone notes which are in layer 1. If I use the selection tool and highlight the bottom clef and press delete it deletes all the notes in both layers. What's the trick to limiting deletion to a single layer?

View Active Layer Only. Should be in the Document menu.

When only layer 2 is showing, you can select and delete it without affecting layer one.

Perfect! I had not noticed that option. Thank you so much.

I'm new to this forum. Is there a way to mark the question answered? I see the little up-and-down arrow with a zero in the middle.

You should be able to open your original post of the thread and edit the subject line IIRC.

Adrian, I looked around and can find no way to edit the original subject line. Maybe I am missing something. Also, not sure what IIRC means. :-(

IIRC = If I Recall Correctly

I tried making the change on an old mssg I had originated to see if it would work as I recalled. Remember that you need to edit the title of the first mssg of the thread.

Thanks, all. I just updated the title to include [Solved].
