Copy, Cut & Paste Fails

I have highlighted lyrics, system text, staff text, notes, phrases etc to copy them via Ctrl-C. Only to find that Ctrl-V paste fails. Cut also fails.
How can a phrase be copied, cut'n'pasted etc?
I just added a new page to the manual: Copy and paste
Documentation is nice .. but Muse doesn't actually do that which you describe.
It can be a little tricky in versions 0.9.3 or earlier. Make sure you click on the empty part of the measure for the initial click and when you extend the selection.
@david
Would it be a good idea to tag revisions of the handbook pages against a certain MuseScore version? E.g. the copy past page might be tagged with 0.9.4 which means that the documentation only applies starting from 0.9.4
Perhaps overkill, but I just want to raise the idea that it is possible to deploy such a solution. Visually, this tag will appear in between the handbook title and text.
The copy-paste and voices pages will need rewriting for the 0.9.4 release (they are still targeted at 0.9.3) but most other changes are minor. At for now I think we can get by without the complexity of a formal tagging system but it is worth considering for the future.
I have a similar but not identical problem. If I follow the instructions for Copy & Paste, I can copy and paste the notes but not the lyrics, even if the lyrics are highlighted when I copy.
Pastor Paradox, You asked the question multiple times. Here's my response to your first time: http://musescore.org/en/node/4409#comment-26242
