Is it possible to copy a measure (or measures) with more than one voice?

• Aug 27, 2020 - 02:36

I'm transcribing a piano score that requires two voices because of different rhythms in the treble clef. I need to repeat some measures exactly, but when I highlight and copy, then put the cursor into the empty measure I want to copy and then type control-v (or use the menu paste feature) nothing happens. I'm assuming it is because the measure has two voices. Is there a way to copy two voice measures?

Thanks

Ken

You are doing something wrong in the copy process.

To copy the measure, there must be a rectangle around the entire measure(s) to show it's selected. You cannot select the individual notes (using any of a few different methods) or nothing will copy.

If this doesn't help, explain how you are selecting the measures and what you are doing to copy them.

The problem disappeared after I rebooted my computer. I was going to upload a screenshot of the rectangle around the measures, but my capture app would not open, which prompted the reboot. The capture app opened, but my copy and paste worked, so I won't bother with the screenshot. So, no, I was not doing something wrong in the copy process. I do appreciate you taking the time to reply to my post.
