Hi. I’ve come across am issue which possibly only bothers me but I thought I’d share it anyway. It occurs when I try to copy a section from (eg) bar 20 and paste it into bar (eg) 241 and then realise I’ve put it in slightly the wrong place (eg I’ve pasted to the trombone part instead of the tuba). I press undo but then I’m immediately taken back to bar 24 when what I’d like is to still be at bar 241 so that I can quickly try again in the correct place. I inevitably realise at this point that I forgot to memorise where I was (ie the bar 241 position) so I have to go searching for it again. Is there an option to allow me to retain the current position after pressing undo?

Why undo, rather than just cut and paste the bit you’ve just added?
I suppose it’s a bit of a default on my part - I want to be absolutely certain that I return to the previous state rather than messing with it possibly making things worse
After you paste, the pasted notes remain selected, so the immediate cut will only apply to the notes that you have just pasted.
I know I’m moving the goal post a bit compared to OP’s example, but that won’t work if, say, you Alt+clicked slightly too far to the left and accidentally overwrote an eighth or sixteenth worth of existing material (that happens to me more often than I like to admit). Being able to use the Undo command without the view jumping back to the source material would be something I’d welcome with open arms.
(Before someone mentions it: (un)checking the enigmatic “follow selection” setting in the Preferences does not prevent this from happening

Absolutely. That’s exactly what I meant (but you put it rather more eloquently and succinctly!)

Because when pasting at the wrong spot you might have overwritten 25 bars of music…
