Line Copy


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

NB: The contents of the destination line will be replaced but you can always use Undo if you have made a mistake!

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


To Line Copy

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

To Line Paste

  1. Click anywhere on the destination line - there is no indication that this line is selected. You can always select Undo if the destination was incorrect!
  2. Select Line Paste from your chosen menu and the notes and bars you copied should appear. The Line Paste operation should automatically space the notes evenly in the destination line.
Note: If the number of bars differs between the source and destination lines, barlines, endings may be changed. If this is the case, you may need to modify these manually with the structure toolbar.
