If you copy a set of bars including repetitions, the repeated bars will be empty and graphically be represented as pauses.

Reading through the code, as well as #6369: Pasting repeat bar over barline corrupts measures, this appears to be intentional, but I hesitate to mark this as "by design". We should allow the pasting of repeat measures as long as we take care to handle them correctly. Some things to watch out for include:
- the duration of the repeat measure compared to the duration of the destination measure, and
- the beat in the measure at which the repeat measure is being pasted.
