There was already provision for keeping any link-to-source directive from the first measure, and your example-use makes me think that there are quite a few things people might have in the first measure which actually target the whole staff. (For example, turning off tuplet brackets). So I modified New from Current to keep everything except music from the first bar. This will be built overnight, as usual. Richard
