Many tunes make use of a recurring phrase that repeats exactly, or with a few changes, over a number of measures.
To help reduce the time to create your score, you can identify a repeating group of items and have Notion
automatically insert new measure(s) immediately to the right of your highlight to duplicate these items. You are then
free to make any changes, if needed, to the contents of the new measures without altering the original items.
To copy and paste a phrase of any size with very few keystrokes:
1. Highlight any-size contiguous collection of notation marks.
2. If your score has multiple instruments, Notion also draws boxes around the items in other staves at this location. If
you do not want those items to duplicate, ensure these boxes are empty. Hold down Ctrl and click a shaded box to
switch it to empty, and visa versa. In the example below, only the bottom box (a percussion part) will duplicate.
◙ Bottom measure highlighted (only).
3. Complete one of the following:
> Go to the Menu bar and select Edit > Duplicate, or
> Press Windows: Ctrl + D; Mac:  + D, or
> Right-click and select Edit > Duplicate from the context menu.
» Notion creates new measure(s) next to the right-hand end of the highlight and duplicates the contents
of the highlight in the new measures.
◙ Measure duplicated.
