You can copy and paste items, including notes and notations, to other rhythmic positions and staves in different ways.

Procedure

  1. In Write mode, select the notes/items you want to copy.
    Tip

    To select multiple items of the same type, you can use large selections and/or filters.

  2. Copy the selected notes/items to other rhythmic positions in any of the following ways:

    • Alt/Opt-click each position to which you want to paste them.

    • Press Ctrl/Cmd-C, select the position to which you want to paste them, then press Ctrl/Cmd-V.

    • To repeat the material directly after itself, press R.

    • To copy notes/items to the staff above, select them and choose Edit > Paste Special > Duplicate to Staff Above.

    • To copy notes/items to the staff below, select them and choose Edit > Paste Special > Duplicate to Staff Below.

Result

The selected notes/items are copied without deleting them from their original positions. By default, any MIDI CC points in the copied range are also pasted.

If you copied dynamics or slurs to other staves at the same rhythmic position, they are automatically linked by default.

Tip

You can assign key commands for Duplicate to Staff Above and Duplicate to Staff Below on the Key Commands page in Preferences.
