  • Multiple instruments are shown in the Key Editor.

  • You have added the Dynamics editor to the Key Editor.

    • Press Shift-Alt/Opt-5.

    • In the Key Editor panel toolbar, click Sync Region .

    • In the Key Editor, right-click and hold to show the quick tool selector, move the mouse pointer to Sync Region , then release the mouse.

  2. In the Dynamics editor, do one of the following:
    • To copy specific dynamic points or regions, click and drag across them. You can also click individual regions directly.
