Project
1) create at least 2 staves
2) create local time signature (ctrl-drag time signature to one staff). I used 12/8 while the rest of my score was in 4/4
3) Write some music on the staff with the local time signature
4) Copy/paste the music to another bar on the same staff
In the current build (2.02) MuseScore either crashes, or gets very confused (puts the notes in the wrong place and creates some blank - not even a "whole bar rest" - bars).
In the next build (2.03) this is hacked over with a Dialog Message("Please select the complete tuplet/tremolo and retry the command") when you try to copy.
The issue is that you cannot copy/paste within a Local Time Signature. The fix is to allow copy/pasting within a Local Time Signature.
Comments
Or to remove the local time signature feature altogether.
Or at least give a better error message than the standard for partial tuples. ("Please select the entire tuple then retry")
This should be a bug rather than a feature. I just come from Sibelius to use Musescore again (I used to use Musescore before) because musescore allows easy implementation of local time signatures, which I don't know how to do so in Sib. Then lasconic wanted to remove the local time signature feature altogether.
It is also very frustrating that tuplets created in these local time signature bars may become corrupted if I delete any of the notes of the tuplets.
I have the same view on this, I would say this is a bug as well and sure hope the functionality will not be removed.
Let's call it that, then.
It works in master.

The fix is not working in MuseScore 3.3.4.9066 from late 2019. I have a score that's all in 4/4 time except for a drumset stave in 12/8. I cannot copy and paste in the 12/8 stave. When I copy, I still get the dread message "Please select the complete tuplet/tremolo and retry the command". If there is a workaround I would love to hear it!
Please open a new topic in the forum about that, including a sample score
This was never actually fixed.
This is a rather famous example that I'm trying to clean up: https://musescore.com/user/17770536/scores/3898371 (mm. 64-96, in the upper woodwinds, snare drum, and bass drum)

The flute part doubles the piccolo part in mm. 65-96 an octave below. Without using the note entry tool, can you please copy the piccolo part to the flute part? (If you want to try filling in the other parts in that region, here's a reference: https://imslp.org/wiki/English_Folk_Song_Suite_(Vaughan_Williams%2C_Ral… )
No, not possible, that is what this bug report is about. The error message is wrong, which is another bug.
But thanks for the sample score.

The score was made by the folowing… OS: macOS 10.14, Arch.: x86_64, MuseScore version (64-bit): 3.4.2.25137, revision: 148e43f
I neglected to add that information to my previous comment. (And, yes, I will neglect to do so now.)
And the latest development builds has that issue too.
