How to copy measures to all instruments in score (and transpose simultaneously)?
How do I take this part I have written on the Piccolo line and copy it to all instruments and transpose simultaneously? Thank you!

The paste would do the transpose on the fly (for transposing instruments. But there's no way to fill all instruments with just one paste

Thank you Jojo. I make a lot of exercises that are exactly the same for all parts and wish I could just write the melody once and it goes automatically to all other parts.

Copy once, paste n-1 times
Actually, it is possible to reduce the work there - select all staves, then Tools / Explode. You'll need to change octaves manually of course; most instruments can't play as high as piccolo!

Great! One less step. Off the subject, but do you know? I have a Gb in the flute line, but that note specifically is not transposing when copying to other instruments. It is possibly because I added a flat sign to the G. I don't know how to input a Gb.

To learn how to enter notes, see the Handbook section on note input, see my tutorial video here:

You'll see several methods, including using the arrow keys and the toolbar buttons.

It worked just now when I "exploded" the notes. Thank you Marc!!!!

You know what? It DID transpose without having to manually change octaves. Instead of selecting all staves, I only selected the staff that had my music written on. I then Tools -> Explode it and it automatically transposed without being a zillion ledger lines up or down.

Hmm, it could be that you actually didn't set up your score properly, and that's why it appeared to work. Like you might have the wrong clefs or the wrong transpositions set. Because certainly explode from a piccolo part should have resulted in crazy ledger lines for, for, trombones or cellos. Unless you only had other treble instruments. Best to attach your score so we can make sure there isn't something set up wrong now that will lead to trouble down the road that would require you to need to redo a lot of work.
