Allow copy and paste all text from one staff to another
Currently if you want to move instructions from one staff to another you have to individually click, ctrl-x, click, ctrl-v, repeat for the entire score.
It should be - select range of bars - filter to only text - ctrl-x - click the other staff - ctrl-v

I don't see how this would work. Text items are attached to notes or rests, not staves. How would MuseScore decide where to paste the text items when the source and destination have different rhythms and possibly fewer notes/rests in the destination than the source?

Probably best to do it like in Sibelius. I don't know how it's programmed, but it just works.

But there are no notes. It seems a pretty minimalist example.
We support this for a number of element types - chord symbols, lyrics, articulations, etc - with special handling to decide whether to copy by note or by beat. But apparently staff text isn't included. I would suggest making an official Suggestion to the issue tracker. Should be easy enough to add.

Thanks. Is this website labelled 'feature requests' not for feature requests? Where is the issue tracker I should use please?

The forum is a great place to discuss ideas for feature requests, to make sure the feature doesn't exist already, to flesh out ideas for how a complex new feature might work, etc. Same with the bug reports forum - it's great for confirming something really is a bug. But either way, once something is confirmed and made concrete, it should be logged to the issue tracker, so we can, well, track it. See the Support menu above.

To make an official feature request that's tracked, go to https://musescore.org/en/node/add/project_issue?pid=1236 and set the severity to S5-Suggestions and leave everything else to their defaults. You can then explain your request in the box that starts "Steps to reproduce..."
