copy measures should be complete copy

• Mar 18, 2025 - 12:32

Once again, I'm offering this as a request. Your recent update is very nice. However, we still cannot copy a measure (Ctrl-A) and have it copy EVERYTHING. Control-A should allow us to copy not only the notes and their values, but also the System Text, Staff Text, Expressions, etc., and MOST IMPORTANTLY, the Time signature. If I copy a measure, and paste it someone else, because I'm repeating that sequence of notes, it should copy what I have already done in that measure, completely! And If I also want to copy the Lyrics as well, it should allow me to do so.
You added the feature of "Input by duration" to satisfy the Finale users. Well then, add this feature as well for copying a complete measure in the Edit menu. Allow us to choose what to copy by putting all that is possible as check boxes, with the items I listed (and more), so we can choose what to copy each time we want to copy the measure. I pray this is something you are working on. Thank you...

Seriously? That old huh? Makes me wonder why they don't want to put it in there. Seems like it would be very helpful to the program, and a great feature to have. I found a workaround, but it takes me a lot longer to do that. Still, it's very odd that they haven't added it yet. But, there's still hope I guess. Thanks!...
