Is there a way to change the default calendar in the "New Event" dialog?

I have two calendars, one local and one synchronized with Google Calendar. When I create a "New Event" I get a dropdown with both choices. The local calendar is always the default choice. I mostly use the other, so I have to manually change it all the time (easy to forget!). After I change it and save the event, the next time I open the dialog it again shows "local".

Is there a way to change it so that it defaults to the synchronized calendar?

Turn on your Calendar Pane. The calendar you have selected there will be the default in the drop down of a new event. View-Calendar-Calendar Pane-Show Calendar Pane

My Calendar pane has both calendars selected. "The calendar you have selected there..." implies this is a single-select, but that is not the case.

I am looking for something like picking one of the calendars and getting a "make this the default" menu choice. Or some equivalent.

I have 8 calendars and they are all "checked" to display. That is not selected. Actually click on one of the calendar folders to select it. You know, highlight it.

That is your only option to choose which one displays first in the drop down list.
