Error on copying 9/8 time bar

• Feb 28, 2016 - 14:43

When copying a bar which is 9/8 time and then pasting it to the next bar, the timing is all out - looks like about 7 x 1/8 notes in the bar pasted and in the next bar.

Very odd, and very annoying as it means the next bars have to be added manually! :)

PS It also wrecks the bar when you Ctrl+Z to undo the paste and it is then impossible to do anything with the bars.

It looks however as if the error is in the Bass bar above the first 9/8 or maybe not - I am not sure. Something is not right it seems.

Just zapped all the measures ans started again and the test file exhibits the same problem.

Copy and paste is known to lead to this sort of corruption when using the local time signature facility, which is still somewhat experimental. See #51626: Copy/paste to/from passage with local time signatures produces corruption.. As explained in the bug report, I am proposing we simply disable copy & paste in these situations for now since actually getitng it right turns out to be non-trivial.
