Selecting all bars of a part

Please could someone remind me how to select all the bars on a particular stave quickly - is there a keyboard shortcut?
Thanks, Ali

Ctrl+A all the score, to Select a range of measures https://musescore.org/en/handbook/selection-modes#select-measure-range

Yeh, not quite what I need - I am repeatedly refreshing a piano reduction after making changes to SATB vocal parts. This means clearing the piano part (not deleting it) and then copying the vocal parts one by one down to the piano staves. (and using voice / swop to ensure correct assignment). This would be just that little bit easier if I could go down to the piano part and clear all the measures with a simple key combo. As it is I have to select the first measure then shift through to the last page keeping my Enter key down to make sure I have selected all the measures in each piano stave. Not a great hardship but would hate to think I'm missing a Ctrl key or something!

I don't know if it exists, I can think of a trick Press i delete the Piano and add a new one

I know what you mean.
But if only there was a 'Select all this part ' option it would save time. Actually, that would also help when the copying parts over! How about that for a feature request?

Select the first note (or rest) in the upper stave and use ctrl+shift+end (or whatever the MAC equivalent is) to select to the end of that stave. Then use shift+down to select the lower stave as well.

Thanks! That's it. Knew it had to be something obvious.
