The "edit filter" dialog is indeed a very powerful function, but it lacks a fast way to save settings. Using third-party-software (and/or hardware), it's possible to save and restore filter dialog settings with a key or some MIDI message.

That's what I recommend as long as MM does not include such a function in Finale.

@Harald Schollmeyer: Thanks for your reply. Would you have a name of a third party software supplier? I use TGTools but this doesn't offer the copying possibilities I'm refering to. Thanks!

@Michel Havenith - of course: tirst thing to think about is how the different filter settings should be triggered - by keystrokes or MIDI messages? If it's keystrokes only, https://www.autohotkey.com/ on Windows is sufficent. If you want to select filter settings via MIDI, additional software like https://www.bome.com/products/miditranslator , http://www.midiox.com/ and https://nerds.de/en/loopbe1.html might be necessary or helpful.

Here's a sample Autohotkey script, the comments are in German. When it's run, it resides in memory and does not show a window (though, it could). First, it checks whether Finale is the active window and only then gets into action. If I hit the PageDown key, the script sends the "Alt" key and the keys e,r,g to Finale. This triggers Speedy Entry's "Slur backwards" (in the German version). Accordingly, the AltGr-Key with comma key selects a filter setting by opening the Filter window, selecting all necessary items and closing it.

@Haral Schollmeyer - I appreciate your reply but unfortunately I'm not experienced in coding, I wouldn't know what to do with this code.
