Can't copy/paste into new voice in Elements?

This doesn’t seem to be an option in Elements (copied from the manual):

Copying and pasting notes into different voices

You can copy and paste notes into voices that are different to their original voices, including into slash voices. For example, you can copy notes from an up-stem voice on one staff into a down-stem voice on another staff.

Procedure

In Write mode, select the notes you want to copy.
Press Ctrl/Cmd-C to copy the selected notes.
Select the staff to which you want to paste the notes, at the position where you want the selection to start.
Choose Edit > Paste Special > Paste Into Voice > [Existing or new voice]. You can also choose this option from the context menu.
Result

The selected notes are copied to the selected staff and into the selected voice. …(NOPE)

No, sorry. Compare the Versions of Dorico: Elements & Pro | Steinberg. Look under “Input and editing.”

Thanks for the link. I hadn’t seen the versions compared in such detail before.

I am having great difficulty today selecting music to copy!!! What am I missing?

A previous post of yours indicates that you’re in Pro, not Elements. Is there a chance you’re in Engrave mode rather than Write mode?
