Can't copy/paste because menu "Edit", item "Copy" is disabled (MS 2.0.0 release a925ae0)

• Jan 3, 2015 - 00:35

In the MuseScore handbook, on page 13, section titled "Copy and paste", I follow the steps (as indicated below) but the menu "Edit", item "Copy" is not enabled so to it doesn't appear I can copy/paste a few notes from one part of the score to another.

The steps in the handbook are:
Copy

  1. Click on the first note of your selection.
  2. Shift⇑+click on the last note of your selection. A blue rectangle highlights the region you selected.
  3. From the menu choose Edit → Copy

environment: Mac OS X 10.10.1 (14B25), i.e. Yosemite

Are you seeing the blue rectangle appear? If so, you should find the Copy command activated. Works for me. What about the standard keybaord shortcut Ctrl+C - does that work for you?

Ifd you are not seeing the rectangle, then somehow you arne't selecting properly. You ahve to click & shift+click notes, not other markings. Note there are other ways of selecitng to, like shift+drag. or click a note then shift + cursor keys.
