FWIW, I could see this going either way. In principle, it's not different than with dynamics, chord symbols, voltas, or many other types of markings. Some times you want the markings copied, others times you don't. Conversely, sometimes you want any markings already present in the destination copied and sometimes you don't. Hence the desire for a more flexible selection facility. And while it hadn't occurred to me that this could also affect what gets overwritten in the destination as well, that seems like something we'd want to consider too.
