Dear fellow Doricians, dear devs,
I just tried something that does not seem to work as intended. When I select a dynamic, select a note in bunch of stave below, the dynamic is properly multiple pasted on those notes. I love that feature, faster than multiplying alt-clicks.
I just tried to do the same with lyrics, my mac is working hard for like five minutes and it looks as though Dorico — instead of copying all the line once in every staff — is having a hard time copying multiple times on every note… I just wait to see whether the beach ball will end but thought it might be useful to let you know.
I’m not able to reproduce this problem as you describe it in the attached trivial example, Marc. Here’s what I’m doing:
- Open the attached project.
- Select all three bars in the top staff.
- Do Edit > Filter > Lyrics > All Lyrics.
- Copy to the clipboard.
- Click in the first bar of the alto staff, Shift+click in the first bar of the bass staff.
- Paste.
This works reliably for me – how do my steps differ from yours? Thank you.

Dear Daniel,
These are the same steps as mine. I don’t see any attachment here, but I think it has to do with a problem on the site… I will try and send you a minimal example by email.
At the time of posting this, Daniel’s attachment doesn’t exist for me either.
There was a problem last night with attachments (I think the quota had been used up). The file is attached now.
Dear Daniel,
I tried again the same workflow with the same file… and the problem does not happen anymore!!! I will make sure I’ll post the project when if that issue happens again…
Sorry for that
And to be complete with the problem I had : the beach ball never ended, so I had to force quit Dorico, and restart it twice in order to go on with my work (as usual when there’s a crash or a force quit).
It certainly sounds like somehow it got into an infinite loop and was doing the same operation over and over again.
