Dear forum
In Dorico there’s no way to use the keyboard after creating a “meter” (4/4 on gif).
Normally I’d click on an empty bar to make a selection and resume using the keyboard.
Can you think of a way to click somewhere to do this with KM?
I’d prefer to have the selection set near the middle of the screen.
The zoom level changes.
The “4/4” could also be “5/4”, “6/8” etc. so it’s not unique.
To make the selection any click (or drag) in an area within the 5 line areas is possible.
The selected color (orangish) is always the same.
Clicking seems pretty simple, so I must be missing something—just make a macro that clicks the mouse at a location and assign it a hot key. If you always want the same spot on the screen, and the resolution doesn't change, that should be all that's required.
So I figure I must be missing something, because that seems overly obvious :).

Thank you for your reply. Well you’re not really missing something but the zoom level is changing and if I click in the white areas between the staffs, nothing is selected. So the position of the staffs change depending on the zoom level.
So to make it work, the click cannot hit the “4/4” areas, the vertical lines and has to be within the staffs (the 5 lines).
I was thinking doing something like a click that is repeated, each time 20 pixels lower which I could repeat until it works but I haven’t tried that before and if then else loops are not my strongest side.
