How to paste in another voice? possible?
One feature would be very important for me which is pasting a melody line in other voice than first voice.
For example: when making piano reductions from orchestral scores, I often want to paste the line of another instrument in the right hand of the piano, which already contains a voice. When I try to paste in the second voice the content of the first voice gets substituted by the second voice...
Is there a way to do that or it's not yet implemented?
Thank you

You can only paste in Voice 1 but you can exchange voice on a measure per measure basis via Edit -> Exchange voices.
So if you have a melody on voice 1 and you want to paste another one on voice 2, exchange voice 1-2, paste, and exchange again.

Thanks! I was just wondering how to do this, and what do you know? Question answered before I even ask it! Brilliant!
Is this information still relevant, or is there now another way to do this?

I think it is still relevant
If you have two parts that you want to past into one, and both are on separate staves and on voice channel 1, what you can do is select the part in the staff you will be copying data from and go to Tools>Voices>Exchange Voice 1-2. Then, go to View>Selection Filter (or press F6) and above the palettes pane deselect Voice 1 from the selection filter. Now, reselect the data to be copied and copy the data. The next time you paste, you can paste into a staff that has data in voice 1 and Musescore will add the entire pasted data into voice 2 without overwriting voice 1, essentially merging the two parts into one staff.
Step-by-step:
1) Select part to be copied.
2) Exchange voice to voice 2 (or whichever voice is not being used in the destination)
3) Open the Selection Filter
4) Deselect checkboxes in the Selection Filter for Voices already used in the destination.
5) Reselect the data to be copied.
6) Copy the data.
7) Paste the data into the destination.

In Overture (Sonic Scores) it’s really easy to isolation voices for copy and paste:
a) Copy or Cut the data you want (from any voice or All voices)
b) Set the Voice Selector to isolate your destination voice.
Overture then dims the other voices (and in the destination voice you can vividly see
if there's notation that you might want to preserve, by moving elsewhere.)
c) Paste
Optionally, any selection is easily sent to one of seven other voices with a keystroke, similar to features we have in MuseScore.
I’d like to see the a, b, c level of simplicity in MuseScore ... and I don’t see any downside to that. A Voice Selector would clarify and simplify note entry and editing … and pasting. (My 2¢: There's lots of great UI in Overture worth studying and emulating. )
Alternately the addition of a Solo column in MuseScore's Selection Filter would suffice. Then you could temporarily isolate and easily return to a prior Show filter state. Obviously there are other ways to handle that, but here's a Show / Solo concept:
NOTE: If in step a) above if you copy notation from voice 1 & 2 and paste into voice 5, Oveture spills the voice 2 data into voice 6. If you’re paste into voice 8, it clips 2 from the paste. So you do need to watch your step.

Or maybe more more like this, which includes a Note property section:
With this UI users could define selections additively or subtractively:
• Define selections additively with the Solo column
• Or define selections subtractively with the Show column

Thank you so much, I was trying to write a fugue and mess with inversions but it was annoying to write it again
