Copy and paste dynamics

• Apr 12, 2013 - 05:15

When I copy and paste a range of bars, the notes get pasted and the lyrics get pasted, but the dynamics like ff, mp or crescendos won't paste. I really hope this feature will be implemented soon. This is a feature that gets requested every now and then, like here:

I can't imagine a case where one would not prefer the dynamics to be pasted. Personally I would need it when writing orchestra scores.

I tested the latest nightly build and it pasted ff, mp and such, but not a crescendo mark. Actually I managed to paste the crescendo mark, too, but I couldn't repeat it. Something odd happened there.

I agree, more control over copy/paste is a big potential area for improvement.

Meanwhile, I'd observe a more efficient way to handle the issue of dynamics in orchestra scores is to add the dynamics *after* the notes. Copy the passage first, then ctrl-select (or shift-click for adjacent staves) the notes in each part to which you want the dynamic attached, then add the dynamic to all of them at once. Of course, ability to add dynamics via keyboard shortcuts would simplify that further.


...then add the dynamic to all of them at once.

This works only for the dynamics in the dynamics palette, not for crescendo or diminuendo, which are in the lines palette.
