How do I copy chord symbols from one system to another in v2
Please help :-)

Same as in previous versions: select the range of notes/ measures and copy that. Then you can delete the notes. If you've already entered notes, you can save them off to a scratch staff first and then copy them back. But it's obviously easier to copy the chords *before* copying the notes.

Eventually, MuseScore will hopefully implement a way to control what gets copied.

You can, btw, also copy chords one at a time: select chord, copy, click note, paste. But that's unlikely to be faster than just re-typing the chords.

This is true. As I explained aove, you have to copy the entire range of measures - notes annd all, not just the chord symbols. That's why I explained that you will then have the delete the notes and that it's best if you haven't already entered notes nto the destination, because they will be overwritten. So, for example click the first measure you want to copy, shift click the last, ctrl-c, click the target measure, ctrl-v. This copies both notes and chords. Then hit Delete while the selection is still active to remove the notes leaving only the chords.
