Pasting Note Expression Events to Different Notes

You can copy all note expression events from one or more notes and paste them to one or more other notes.

Prerequisite

You have set up a key command for Paste Note Expression in the Key Commands dialog (Note Expression category).

Procedure

  1. Double-click the note that contains the note expression events.

    The note expression editor opens.

  2. Select the note expression events that you want to copy.
  3. Select Edit > Copy.
  4. Select the note to which you want to paste the note expression events.
  5. Press the key command that you assigned to the Paste Note Expression command.

Result

All copied note expression events are pasted to the selected note.

If you copied note expression events from several source notes and pasted them to a number of destination notes, the following applies:

  • If the number of the source and destination notes matches, the events of the first source note are pasted into the first destination note, the events of the second source note into the second destination note, etc.

  • If the number of source notes is smaller than the number of destination notes, the source note events are pasted repeatedly into the destination notes in the order in which they appear.

    When you copy the events from 2 source notes into 4 destination notes, for example, the first destination note gets the note expression events from the first source note, the second destination note the events of the second source note the third destination note, the events of the first source note, and the 4th destination note the events of the second source note.
