making a score of violin and piano fails when I try to copy in a part.
When I copy the violin part from a separate violin part and insert into the score, a dotted half note is missing the dot. And so everything slides to the left one beat. This happens repeatedly. And a dotted half note ends up being a quarter note slurred to a half note. If I try to insert a quarter note, I end up with four beats in a measure where it is 3/4. Copying the violin part does not give me the exact same thing. The piano part is likewise messed up but not sure if that is only due to the violin part. Happens first at measure 81

I up loaded the wrong files. It is Morning Start violin and piano part

Your first measure in the piano part has an additional 1/8th rest at the start, which was likely not the intent. You'll want to remove that using "Tools → Remove Selected Range". All other bars now seem to be fine and in 3/4
In the Violin part however m79 is short one beat. Since copying does not copy the barlines, but only the note durations, this means that when pasting the following measures will all look as if they've shifted forward one beat because that is the duration of notes you've copied.
So MuseScore does give you the exact same thing durationwise.
So likely you'll want to fix the actual measure duration of m79 back to 3/4, then fix that note (and its tie) and only then copy-paste into the piano score.
Musescore version 3.6.2.548021803

What I did was copy the entire violin part using select the whole thing, and paste into the score I was trying to create.

thank you. I had noticed the extra rest in the piano score and there was one in the violin part as well later on. I clicked on it but hitting the delete key did not remove it. I did not know about the tools -> remove selected range.
I did move the rest up thinking that might make a difference. The added rests were always blue.
The parts came from Import PDF and I had cleaned up except for those added rests.
Score looks great now. Thank you very much.
I think the appearance of the rest in blue and being able to move it above the staff lines and it not going away with the delete key is very confusing.

The added rests are not in blue at all. They show blue when you select them, same as any other element in voice1.
The normal delete key removes sound, the remainder is silence, which is shown in music by displaying rests. Replacing a rest with silence still leads to silence, which is why it "didn't go away".
The reason for the normal delete command not removing time instead is that this would be the far less common action, as the end result (when starting from normal measures) would be irregular measures.
