How to copy *mixed* Force Duration (on/off per note/rest) from one bar to others?

[Francesco_Pinetti]

Hi everyone,

I’m working in Dorico Pro 6.1 and need to copy a bar with mixed Force Duration — some notes/rests have Force Duration enabled, others don’t — into other bars, preserving the exact same on/off pattern.

I’ve already tried:

• Select entire bar → Ctrl+C → Paste Special > Paste into Voice → loses partial overrides
• System Track + Paste Special → no Replace Bars options
• Repeat Bar → only works for consecutive duplicates
• Copy/Paste Articulations or Playing Techniques → doesn’t transfer Force Duration

The issue: Dorico **recalculates durations** in the target bar, even when time signature and voices are identical.

Is there a reliable way to:

1. Copy full rhythmic structure + mixed Force Duration overrides in batch?
2. Or at least selectively reapply Force Duration based on a model bar?

I don’t want to do this manually across dozens of bars.

Thanks in advance for any workflow, script, or hidden option!

Have you tried Alt-click to copy the selection?

I would expect Dorico to preserve Properties when notes and rests are copied.

…and this is the result. Alt-click was the first way I tried it…

Same result here.
