I always start a piece using an abreviated 5 line sketch for Concert Band and then once the piece is finished I copy and paste the basic 5 lines into a full Concert Band template and fill in the rest of the parts into the score. When I copy the first part to paste which is the Flute part Dorico is not transfering any of my Tempo Marks, Fermatas, Rehearsak Marks or anything else appearing above the score in my sketch. It only transfers the notes. How can I get the program to transfer those other items from my sketch to the full score when I copy and paste from my sketch?
Thanks for any help.
It’s a problem for me only occasionally so I take the easy answer without looking deeper sometimes. But edit-> select all will do it all right. Sounds right for your sketch - but At that point if needed you can filter out things you don’t want in the filter section. Good if you only want the top line, a middle voice, or something.
Dorico distinguishes between System objects, like Tempi, Rehearsal Marks, (which appear in any layout, no matter which Players there are) — and Staff objects, which is “all the music on that Player’s staff”.
You’ll find that when you select “one staff” – usually by selecting the first note and doing Select to End of Flow – you don’t even select the time sigs.
If you select everything, and paste that, then move the music into the correct staves, then … you’ll get everything.
Hmmm. If I “copy all” and then paste isn’t it going to copy a five lines of the sketch onto the score which would be O.K. if the staves matched up but my first line in the sketch is Flute and the second staff is Clarinets but in the full score the second line if Oboe. It seems the instruments will all be off. It seems there must be a way to tell Dorico to transfer the information attached to that staff to copy to the full score. Maybe not. I may have to go into the full score and redo all my tempo marks, Rehearsal Marks, Fermatas, etc.
“Move to Staff Below” makes it very easy to move things down a score.
But the easiest way is probably to switch to the Flute Part Layout, and select all from there.
It’s possible someone will come up with an alternative.
Switching to the part layout and copying and pasting that sounds like the best option at this point. I will try that.
Thank you!
Switching to the part layout seems to work fairly well. I would hope that at some point, an update might include the ability to copy and paste data from one score to another which would include the ability to also copy System Objects.
Thanks very much.
Derrek,
I will give this a try. It may take some time because I am not familiar with this process. Thank you so much.
I’m an old-timer. Can you tell me what AFAIK stands for?
As far as I know, AFAIK stands for “As far as I know”.

Man. I have GOT to catch up with the times and learn the new vernacular.
TFTR which must mean “Thanks for the response.”
