Bar Copy


The Bar Copy and Bar Paste functions work in a similar way to Copy & Paste, but no selection is required. Instead, they operate on a whole bar or measure. They can also be used to take the contents of bars and copy them to other documents (on other Tabs). 

NB: The contents of the destination bar will be replaced!

Most traditional music scores contain bars that repeat throughout the tune, making this a valuable feature to help speed up note entry.


To Bar Copy

  1. Click anywhere in the bar (selecting any note in the bar is fine and provides a useful indication of the source bar).
  2. Select Bar Copy from either the Edit item on the Main Menu or on the (right-click) Context Menu.

To Bar Paste

  1. Click on the destination bar - there is no indication that this bar is selected. You can always select Undo if the destination was incorrect!
  2. Select Bar Paste from your chosen menu and the notes you copied should appear. The Bar Paste operation should automatically space the notes evenly in the destination bar.
