Copy and paste problem with choir-reduction? (bug?)

In trying to solve my braces challenge, I discovered that if I use two staves with voices other than choir-reduction I can create a layout with no curly braces. But when I try to copy the notes from the bottom staff of the previously populated choir reduction, I can’t copy the parts to my newly created staff. I have encountered this before where I couldn’t get parts to copy, but I don’t remember if it was with the choir reduction.

  • I can copy the top staff from the choir reduction to any other staff.
  • I can copy any other parts to the target stave for bass singers.
  • I cannot copy notes from the bottom staff of the choir reduction to any other staff with either cmd-c, alt-click or the edit menu.
  • I can copy notes from the bottom staff to another bar on the same staff.

Suggestions?

thanks

That is indeed a bug in 2.0, essentially the same problem described here. This will be fixed in the next patch release.

sweet - thanks

Can you try opening this project in Dorico 1.2 and see if you can copy/paste there, then bring back into 2.0? Just a guess to see if that will get you going again.
