Please make copying and pasting easier!
Okay so, i make long pieces. Some of them require me to copy and paste sections, but i have to do it one little measure at a time. It is especially hard if im working on a symphony. Is there any way that we can copy and paste easier? maybe by selecting multiple measures at a time. this is a huge problem for me.

Hi Sabrina,
You can copy/paste any length you want, including thousand of measures (luckily).
One way to do it is:
-click the first note of the passage to copy
-shift + click the last note you want to copy (can be thousands of measures farther)
-ctrl + c to copy
-click on the place where you want to paste
-ctrl + v to paste

Note that this does not (currently) work if the selection to be copied has measures of different lengths (e.g., because of time signature changes). The commands above copy the notes, rests, etc., in the measures, not the measures themselves. The right number of measures of the right length (easy if all the same) must be set up t receive the notes and rests.
