Ah. thank you, Dave. Ctrl+shift+a is it. Kevin, shift+down-arrow selects the next staff. Thanks, guys.

Another trick for selecting notes in chords is to use Alt+Control+1, +2, and +3 to select the first, second and third notes in a chord. Alt+Control+B selects the bottom note regardless of the number of notes in the chord. This can be useful if you want to strip all of the highest notes away. Just select a number of bars on the staff and then press Alt+Control+1. You can then cut the selected notes and if you want, paste them to another staff to give you the top line. Ctrl+Shift+A is the rather mystically named "select more" feature. If a single note within a chord is selected then pressing it selects the entire chord. If an entire chord is selected, or a note which is not part of a chord, then pressing it selects the entire bar. This means that if you have selected one note within a chord, you must press the keystroke twice, once to select the entire chord and twice to select the entire bar.

So, when you navigate to a chord generally the top note is selected. How do you select the remaining notes? I know it can be done, I've just burned the bridge somehow of the synapse between the requested material and the fulfillment of that request. <grin> Thanks for your help.
