Can I copy all verses from one score to an other?

• Oct 22, 2011 - 08:02

I have a soprano score and I would like to copy paste all of the verses over to the tenor score since they will be singing the exact same thing.

How can I do this, is there a certain way of doing it?

If not, could you guys turn this into a feature request and word it better than I could?

Thank you!

Just copy the notes over to the tenor score, the verse will follow. Then just nudge the notes to the right position (for tenor)
This will of course overwrite what's already there, nut here's no other way to do it I'd know of.

If MuseScore is going to be at Sibelius standards, something has to be done about this.

For me that is a LOT of work, I have 3 rows of words for that soprano line, and copying it over to the tenor and then adjusting notes again is so much work.

I have already started doing that, but it's terrible, especially when the score is complicated, there just HAS to be a better way of doing this!

I would kindly ask MuseScore developers to use the Sibelius demo's to see how many features they have and then take the ideas and implement them into MuseScore in some un-infringing way which might very well end up even being better than Sibelius.

MuseScore is so much better than Sibelius already at a lot of things, just when it comes to how many resources it uses...

Well, it is not, if you do it in the right order. At least in my opinion.
Enter Soprano first, then lyrics, then coppy accros to Tenor, Alto, Bass (or whetever)
Moving existing notes into the right position (tune) is much quicker that entereing them from scratch (at least for me)

However, I agree that there is room for improvement when it comes to entering lyrics and a copy/paste feature just for them would be great.

I just had a crash doing it in the right order...

Yes, that was the order that I was doing stuff in, the one you described, but I hate moving existing notes into the rigt position especially when one has a very complicated score!!!

I just had a crash doing this, I had a soprano score that had voice and 3 rows of lyrics, a mezzosoprano score that had just the voice, and I had to create a third score so that I can copy the soprano score to the third one, and then adjust the notes according to the second mezzosoprano score. You see how complicated and time consuming all of this is?

All went well, but when I finished adjusting all of the notes and then hit play to play the score, it played the end because the cursor was at the end of the score, and then I hit play again because it began from the beggining of the score which is when I got the crash.

Are there any logs for crashes that the app stores somewhere? I thought the thing would come back from the crash and I tried only closing the crash window but it didn't... It said something about the Qt thing...

Lyrics moving could use a lot of improvement.
There's also the one issue where if you delete the notes from a line of score, the lyrics remain...
