It sound to me that you may not have hit the reset button before selecting just the lines (pedal marks) you wanted. First before you even go into the advanced filter, please be sure you don't have any other filters active. Then select everything plus staff items (since I think pedal marks are a staff item). In the advanced filter dialog uncheck all the items except lines, as you did but then make sure you hit the reset button (or is it clear?). Then I've personally found that I need to go through the entire dialog a couple times, tabbing until I go crazy, just to be absolutely certain that I've checked/unchecked everything that needs to be. Then of course scroll down the list of lines and hit spacebar on just the item (pedal marks) that I want filtered. I sure don't know why in your case the notes are being deleted as well, but my guess is that somehow they are still being covertly selected. Good luck.

I'm trying to use the advanced filter dialogue to filter all pedal markings and delete them from a conductor's score because they want them gone. I cannot get it to work. i uncheck all but the lines and choose the kind of pedal marking it is and then I think it's filtered and when I hit the delete key it delete's all the notes. If someone can see what I'm doing wrong I'd be most grateful. I have until Saturday night to get this done printed and turned in. my contact info is below. Thanks all.
