Copy/Paste Doesn't Work
I've always successfully used the copy/paste feature until yesterday. I select the measures, manually right-click "copy", but when I click paste, nothing happens. Is this a bug or am I missing something?

Still works for me. Post part of a score where this doesn't work.

It's the entire score on every score I create. Haven't changed any settings or done anything differently than usual.
Hard to say from just a brief description, but if you attach your actual score and tell us which measures you are selecting to copy, and what you are selecting as the destination for the paste, we can understand and assist better. Do be sure first, though, that you don't have voice 1 unselected (and thus excluded from the selection) in View / Selection Filter). That in itself would explain failures like this, since you are saying you to copy everything except voice 1 and if there is no content in any voice, that means do nothing.

It's just a general problem of it not functioning. I didn't change or do anything I hadn't in the past. It just stopped copying on all scores.

Can you C+P in a Word doc, or anything else? Or copy a file to another location? Your score works for me.
You might check in MuseScore Preferences to make sure The C+P shortcuts are still set properly.

It seems the problem is computer-wide. Unable to copy/paste in word docs as well, only html links from a browser will copy. Thanks for the help. Will troubleshoot some more.

So, what didn't work? Ctrl+C (or Cmd+C on macOS)? Check your shortcut definitions in Edit / Preferences / Shortcuts to make sure they weren't customized somehow. Probably best to do Help / Revert to factory settings. If you continue to have trouble, tell us what OS, what keyboard layout, and what version of MuseScore.

If you are having some sort of problem with copy and paste, please attach your score and give precise steps to reproduce the problem so we can see what might be going wrong.
