Try the following:
1. Put some notes in a measure.
2. Place the 8va---, line in the measure attached to the first note.
3. Copy the measure and paste it as measure 2.

Result: the measure and the 8va line copy and paste correctly.

Now do this:
4. Undo (CTRL-Z) the paste operation.
5. Slightly reposition the 8va line (maybe move it a bit closer to the notes, or a bit to the left... whatever).
3. Copy the measure and paste it as measure 2.

Result: the pasted 8va symbol is way too far to the left!

This happens with all lines that I have tried. I am using MuseScore nightly ff2b92c on Kubuntu 14.04 64-bit.

I cannot reproduce this issue on 02a3710

In fact, only a few preliminary steps are necessary for the understanding of this issue.

1) Fill some notes in a measure 2) Add a line 3) Move this line 4) Copy-paste. Result: the line is not copied in the next measure and it overlap the “initial” line.

After checking, the change took place there three days, so: on February 12.

The day before, on this Nightly: 620c997
I get this result:
result on 620c997 February 11.jpg

And so, on February 12, with this one (after moving the line closer to the notes): 4eda1f6
I receive this:
result on 4eda1f6 February 12.jpg

There were only two commits on February 12. This one, which is not concerned: https://github.com/musescore/MuseScore/commit/4eda1f64e6e9fe69de054607f…

and this one: https://github.com/musescore/MuseScore/commit/8dacb7f27bcc23cc7486d367c…
which seems have fixed this issue in one way or another [a good side effect :) ] by ("dragging" - "spanner "-" line ") ?

Therefore, I consider this issue as resolved.
If not, please reopen.

Title changing position of a line (8va, cresc., etc.) causes it to be way out of position on copy/paste ⇒ manual position of a line (8va, cresc., etc.) not preserved on copy/paste
Status (old) fixed ⇒ active

Wow, that's some side effect! It is definitely much better now. I think I will reopen this issue, however, since I would expect the manual positioning to be copied but it isn't - the line appears at the default position in the copy. I might think this was deliberate for some reaosn, but it works for articulations and other elements, seems like it should for lines ("spanners", yes, that is the internal term) too.

Thanks for checking into this!

An associated issue. See attached file.

Copy and paste the three bars of music in the file: The slide disappears, offset values of guitar lines are lost and invisible lines in TAB become visible.
