If you choose a source measure that has only the invisible tuplet

Since any measure that has music has an entry at the beginning of
the measure, the copy is quick and painless, qed.
First of all, we are talking about a workaround. No workaround is as
convenient as not having to work around.
Second, we are talking about different time signatures where the
barlines align, so effectively it is a shorthand for tuplets anyway, right?
Third, my contention is that for a host

Anyway, I now finally understand what Dennis BK is trying to achieve

absolutely agree with you, Robert. Since
Try clicking just once more into the same measure
in case the first click won't bring you the smart shapes.

Thanks Raymund, but that works only with dragging, not with the usual
copy and paste commands.
I have tried opening two windows of the same document, but in this
case neither dragging nor copy and paste work for smart shapes.
Again, am I missing something?
Luckily, this morning I have

If I copy by clicking and dragging they get copied, but if use ctrl-c
or ctrl-shift-c then ctrl-v everything gets copied but smart shapes.
Of course the settings in the Items To Copy

Robert: what about a new addition to your Mass Copy plug-in, something

It is quite regrettable that MM has ruined the copying of smart shapes.

That's a pity, but thank you anyway, your plug-ins are invaluable.

Guiliano,
My original reply to your message didn't seem to get to the list, but
you aren't out of options in 2006.
Drag and drop behaved differently from copy and paste in version
before 2007. The reasons had something to do with the kind of data

Thanks Robert, what you say is very interesting, and will probably
help me sometimes in the future, especially spacing-wise.
But, as far as I'm concerned, entering a lot of music as invisible

Just checked---that works with smart shape hairpins, too.
Thanks again, Hans, it's a very important workaround for me.

I have a piece with simultaneous time signatures of 7/8, 7/8, 5/8, 3/4 and

I don't get this, what's wrong with just write the music as it flows and

Thanks Hans---cumbersome, but it works, I wonder
whether something like that may be the solution
to the smart shapes problem (uncheck indipendent

Oh, by the way: indipendent time can be applied
as a staff style, I have found

It sounds like you use real time signatures (instead of time sig for
display) for the
A quick fix: copy the measure you want to add smart shapes to a blank
measure at the *end* of the document and add the smart shapes there, then
copy it back. Apparently the bug you describe only happens when you try to
edit smart shapes in measures that come before other measures but doesn't

Hello---I have and have had the same problem every time I use the

Also, Indipendent Time always create problems with spacing and

I don't know of a solution, thus I'd be very interested in knowing
