Have you got a mouse? I don't have a Mac so I cannot say much, but left-clicking usually means "clicking on the left button of the mouse".  See BDB's post. (I'm not quite that stupid.)  (I'd know how to left-click with a mouse.)

Macs usually have only one button. Those are the old ones which Apple -thankfully- have not made in years. The newer ones have both left and right click capabilities. But if Mark is still using an old one, then hit 'control' and click. That's the equivalent of a left click.

I've never cared for Apple mice, preferring a third-party mouse both at and home and at work.

Damon: I did what you said, and it seemed (almost) to work until the last part. I got it saved on my desktop....but then how do I get it into a post?
First you put the photo online. There are several places like "photobucket" (my favorite) or you can upload them directly to pianoworld with this link. Just fill in the form and click on the browse button to select the pic from your desktop to upload. Your pic will be at https://www.pianoworld.com/Uploads/files/*****.*** (the asterisks will be your file name) Don't worry if it gives you an error, it will still upload. The picture of bacon below proves it. You can quote this post and look at what I did. ![[Linked Image]](https://www.pianoworld.com/Uploads/files/bacon.jpg)

The Magic Mouse has only one button, but it can be used with touch-sensitivity for multiple functions. In any case, control-clicking is not what you want to do when taking a partial screen shot. You want to hold and drag over the area you want to shoot.

And also: The reason I said "almost" is: Suppose the portion of the score that you want to copy starts in the MIDDLE of a score line, and extends into the next line? (As was the case in the example I was using.) I couldn't get it to include the beginning of the second line; it would only include the portion of the second line that begins at the same horizontal point where I began copying the first line. (And likewise for all additional lines.)
Your best bet is to make sure all that you want fits in the rectangle. I don't know of a screen grabber that can be that specific. What I have done in the past was make a separate pic of the next line and post two (or more) pics

Oh, it was just the first hit that came up when I entered MAc and two-button mouse. Maybe that's why:
Two-button click
Magic Mouse functions as a two-button mouse when you enable Secondary Click in System Preferences. Left-handed users can reassign left and right click, as well.
So basically one button but you can click on both sides of it. I think I have seen something like that before.
Apparently this is not necessary anyway, as Jason said new Macs come with a two-button mouse.
I assume Mac doesn't have a snipping tool like the new versions of Windows (otherwise it would have already been mentioned)?

What I have done in the past was make a separate pic of the next line and post two (or more) pics Two separate pictures can be put together in PhotoShop, but you need Photoshop or a similar program of course. Or just draw a red line where you want to start if you want to start in the middle of a line (to make it clear).

New Macs come with the Magic Mouse, which only has one button. You can set it so that it works as a two button mouse.
