In Musescore 3.0, I tried to copy and paste the repeat sign (that is shaped like %) using the shortcut, but I could not. It occurs when I select the measure with the repeat sign and then copy/paste it, but not when I select the repeat sign itself. It also occurs when I copy/paste the measure and then copy/pasting the repeat sign onto the pasted measure. It was fine in Musescore 2.3.2. It is not a major bug, but I would appreciate it if someone fixes it.
Fix version
3.0.4
Comments
My computer's OS is macOS High Sierra 10.13.6. And I noticed that using shortcut keys or not doesn't affect the problem.
Looked in some older versions I still have.
In the Alpha 2 this worked, in MuseScoreNightly-2018-11-07-1413-master-9e94cec it is defect.
Came up again as #281800: Repeat Sign will not copy and paste
Came up again in https://musescore.org/fr/node/282506
Came up in #280799: Copying measures from one instrument to another, where I left a comment which I will repost here.
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.

So, here (the same nightly/commit: https://github.com/musescore/MuseScore/pull/4029), or the previous commit: https://github.com/musescore/MuseScore/pull/3688/files ?
See https://github.com/musescore/MuseScore/pull/4668 for a PR that fixes this issue.

Got anything a little more helpful?
I don't know what a PR is.
What I need is instructions on how to be able to copy the Repeat Measure Sign
What could be more helpful than a patch that fixes the issue? For now, you can simply add Repeat Measures where you want them.
How do I install a patch?
Usually you wait for it to be accepted by the maintainers of MuseScore. Then you can either download a nightly build or wait for the next update.
