How do I highlight fingerings with "Filters"?

Hi!
Anyone who can tell me how I can highlight fingerings so I can either copy paste them or delete them in larger sections? It takes ages to do it if I have to click on each individual number instead of just selecting all numbers in one go. I can't find out how to do it with "Filters". I'm using Sibelius 8.0.1 build 40.

Thanks a lot!
Rune

Haven't tried it, but you could try clicking on the first finger number in a system and then pressing Ctrl-Shift-A. In theory that will select all the fingering on that system.

Hi Andy!
Thanks for your suggestion :) I can't make it work though. Are you using Windows or Mac? I use a Macbook Pro from 2015.

Windows. On a Mac, that might be Cmd-Shift-A, but there again, that could just be a Windows only shortcut.

Great! That works for one line and definitely makes it easier :) Do you know how to make it include the fingerings for the whole score?

Go into Panorama mode ([shift]p) and use [ctrl/cmd]a as above. Admittedly, it doesn't alwats select them all throughout the score. Any multirests may interfere.

Just noticed the advanced filter has an entry for Fingerings. If you have used the standard text style for fingerings, you should be able to select them all throughout the score on all staves. Use [ctrl/cmd]a then call up the advanced filter.
