Drum writing...is there a way to save and recall custom commands?

Sure, that works for a new project, but what about in the context of my drum project I've attached a couple posts back? is the repetitive repeating / unfolding / time signature code the only way to do this? Carl D. Sorensen wrote: > > > > > On 2/20/09 3:40 PM, "R
