Copying lines without data
Hello, I am writing a score for bass guitar in the bass clef. I have a couple of lines in another score in the treble clef that have the exact same shape as what I need.
When I copy the treble clef lines and paste it into the bass clef, it appears with all the data of a treble clef, with lots of ledger lines above the bass clef, ( as per attached) and I have to do a lot of transposing to get all the notes back in the range of a bass guitar.
Is there anyway of copy and pasting only the shape? I have attached the shape I want to copy

Copy/paste copies content, the pitch of notes is part of that. So no, there's no other way than to 'transpose' down an octave here, which is simple enough using Ctrl+down right after the paste

Indeed. After you have pasted the notes into the bass cleff staff, all the pasted notes will still be "selected" and you can transpose them down one octave with just one more key press, ctrl-downarrow (and two octaves by pressing ctrl-downarrow twice)
