Copying and pasting dynamic points

You can copy and paste dynamic points, including to other dynamics lanes and repeating them directly after themselves in the same dynamics lane.

Prerequisite

The dynamics lane is shown for each instrument whose dynamic points you want to copy/paste.

Procedure

  1. Press S to select Object Selection.
  2. Select the dynamic points you want to copy in one of the following ways:

    • Click a single dynamic point.

    • Make a marquee selection around multiple dynamic points.

    Note

    You can only copy and paste dynamic points in a single dynamics lane at a time.

  3. Copy the selected dynamic points in any of the following ways:

    • Press Ctrl/Cmd-C.

    • Choose Edit > Copy. You can also choose this option from the context menu.

  4. Move the playhead to the position to which you want to paste the selected dynamic points.
  5. Paste the selected dynamic points in any of the following ways:

    • Select the header of the dynamics lane into which you want to paste them and press Ctrl/Cmd-V.

    • Right-click in the dynamics lane into which you want to paste them and choose Paste from the context menu.

Result

The selected dynamic points are copied to the selected positions and dynamics lanes without deleting them from their original positions.

Note

  • All the points of dynamics input in Write mode are copied, even if you only selected a single point.

  • You can also repeat selections of two or more dynamic points immediately after themselves by pressing R. Each repetition starts at the same position as the last point in the previous repetition. However, you cannot repeat single dynamic points or the points of immediate, combined, or force dynamics input in Write mode.
