Christopher,
I just tried this, and it does work. It's a little dicey sometimes -
slow drawing of the outline of the selected measures, but it is not
disabled.
and copy-paste between documents doesn't copy everything, so you
have to use Clip Files and INSERT them (not Replace Items from Clip
File) to copy certain items between documents.
When you do this (I haven't tried it), does that mean that you add
new measures into the target document? Do they appear before the
selected insertion point?
Somebody at MakeMusic really got things right with this new copying
behaviour. I know I've said it before, but this ranks up there with
Staff Styles, Metatools, and Auto-placing expressions for helping
productivity.
I agree that the copying behavior is much more consistent and
understandable. Once I figured it out, it's been working well for me.
