Copy notes, chords and rehearsal marks

I lose time copying whole sections, because dorico doesn’t seem to be able to copy everything ?

For example I have a 16 bars section that repeats, so I select the notes, then, each chords one by one with the mouse, then the rehearsal marks… I lose time there… I posted on this 2 years ago, I thought with 2 versions later this would be resolved ?

Maybe it is ?

I just want to select those 16 bars, copy/paste, should take 4 seconds…. not 1 minute !

thanks

Use the system track to make the selection.

(Dorico is very precise about what is is selected and hence copied)

Ok, so after your reply, I was able to copy/paste using the system track. Yay !!

Now I’m back at my score, want to copy and paste again, and… it doesn’t work anymore (I’m in write mode)

What am I missing ?

Are you pasting in the midst of other music? If so you will need to activate Insert mode to move the other music out of the way (and then be sure to turn it off afterwards).

But if your difficulty is in using the System Track to select the passage to begin with, remember that after you highlight the track segments you’ll need to check the checkbox at the end of the passage to select all the notes, et al. in the staves.
