Copy lyrics
For section, typically 4-12 syllables,
what's the best way to copy lyrics from eg. sopran to alto voice?
Right now I'm ctrl+click each syllable in source,
then select target notes and ctrl+V
But it feels a little cumbersome.
Thanks!

"Right now I'm ctrl+click each syllable in source,

If I understand the goal, do: select the measures (2 - eg image below -, or more, or range selection) where are included the lyrics you want to copy-paste.
-> Right-click on a syllable
-> Select -> All similar elements in range selection
-> Copy-paste on the target note

This is seems good.
I can't do shortcut for this can I?

If it's the request : not by default for "range selection". But you can define your proper shortcuts in Edit/Preferences/Shortcuts

The issue here seems to be selection within selection, right?
There is no way for me to define a syllable as selected within a selection?

"There is no way for me to define a syllable as selected within a selection?"
Indeed. Select "simply" this syllable, and copy-paste (but we go back to square one, and so not sure to understand exactly the goal here)
To better support, attach the score you are working, and provide details on the wished result (and where)

I don't get this to work.
Have you tried the method yourself?

For sure, the shortcut (when defined by yourself) works.
Or are you talking about other thing?

Have you done the above task,
with or without shortcuts?
(as I can't get it to work)

I think I remember that yes (with the shortcut). But I have a doubt right now! Or I don't recall something.

This one, without shortcut, as described above, of course, and works fine: https://musescore.org/en/node/274773#comment-846418

Ok, I couldn't make it work.
Can you test on the below file?

Thanks Shoichi!!
But this copies the lyrics without hyphens,
and is not so good for this task.

Alternatively, use a document as a clipboard pad for later revisions

Yes, but as is, hyphens are extracted, and makes it more cumbersome:

Done: 1 Copy lyrics.mscz
Works as expected with the method described earlier.
Ie: select soprano measure
-> right-click on a lyric
-> Select -> All similar elements in range selection (well, here all similar elements in same staff would be enough, since there is a single measure)
-> Ctrl + C (copy)
-> Select the Alto measure
-> Ctrl + V (Paste)
Alternatively:
-> click first note A soprano
-> Shift + click last note B
-> right-click on a lyric
-> Select -> All similar elements in range selection.
-> Ctrl + C
-> select the first note D Alto measure
-> Ctrl + V

Thank you!
Now, I was able to do it as well.
Don't know why I didn't make it last time. Can't remember I did anything different.
Anyway, this method works fine for my task.
Thanks again!
