Copying Lyrics
I made my first attempt to copy lyrics from one staff to another. I use Ubuntu and MS 2.0.2.
After picking Lyrics in the selection filter I copied from Base2 (See Cantique1). I then chose the first free note and pasted (See Cantique2). The result was terrific.
What have I done wrong? From where came the slur? Why have the notes shifted places?

It seems to me that has been copied the note also, and pasted on a lower value note:
the tie comes from that

Thanks!
I see what you mean, but is there a bug? I can't understand why the notes where copied when I unchecked everything except "Lyrics". I now see it's the Base notes that is transformed to the Tenor clave, and therefore pushed forward because of the punctuation.
How can I copy just the lyrics?
Is it a way to unmark everything in the selection filter, and then just mark the lyrics (saving time)?

When asking for help, it is always better to attach the specific score you are having problems with and precise step by step instructions to reproduce the problem.
I'm guessing it's not a bug, though. I'm guessing you tried using the Selection Filter, which works on range selections. You can deselect the individual voices 1-4, but this will also deselect lyrics in those voices.
If you wish to select lyrcis or anything else without notes, don't use the selection filter - right click a lyric, then see the Select submenu in the popup menu that appears. Lots of options, including selecting all lyrics, all lyrics on that system, on that system, all lyrics within the current range selection, etc.
Once you have selected the lyrics you want, you can copy and paste them.

Thank you, Marc.
I attach the score .
I want to copy the lyrics from Bass2 and paste it in Tenor 2 from measure 21 to 31. I click on the first word and than Shift-click on the last word in the selection. Unfortunately the first word go back to black, and only the last word is selected. Because of that when I right click "all lyrics within the current range selection" is greyed and can't be chosen.
Is there an other way I can make a range selection?

That is not how you select lyrics or anything else but ranges of notes. As I wrote previously, right click a lyric and use the Select submenu of the resulting popup to select by staff, system, voice, within range, etc

Sorry, but I don't get it. It might depend of my lousy English. It might also depend from a lack in the handbook.
When I right-click on the word and choose More... it opens a box (in Swedish) named Choose. That box I would like to have explained in the handbook. The upper half is Choose, and the lower is Arrangements. What shall I choose to copy the lyrics in measure 21 - 31 in Bass2, and what arrangement do I have to make?
Thanks.

select measures 21-31 in Bass2, then right click on a lyrics sylable, Select, All Similar in Selection.
Now all the lyrics belonging to that selection should be selected and nothing else

@ Beemaster, I am attaching your modified score and a little explanation (At least I hope)
In reply to @ Beemaster, I am attaching by Shoichi
Thank you Shoichi, now I got it and am happy and satisfied.
