Copying and pasting items to fill a selected range

You can copy and paste items, including notes and notations, multiple times within a selected range at once, for example, if you want to fill multiple bars with the same phrase.

Note

You can only copy and paste items that have a duration to fill a selection. For example, you can copy and paste gradual dynamics to fill a selection but not immediate dynamics.

Procedure

  1. In Write mode, select the items you want to copy throughout a range.
  2. Press Ctrl/Cmd-C to copy the selected items.
  3. Select the range throughout which you want to paste the selected items.
  4. Press Ctrl/Cmd-V to paste the selected items.

Result

The selected items are copied as many times as will fit within the selected range without extending beyond it.

Tip

If you selected a range on multiple staves, the selected items are also pasted to multiple staves.
