Working with symbols
Moving and duplicating symbols
3. Double-click on the handle of the bar from which you want to copy or move
symbols.
The Bar Copy dialog appears.
4. Make sure that only the symbol types that you want to move/copy are checked.
5. If you have several subsequent bars to which you want to copy symbols, set the
“Repeats” value to this number of bars.
If you only want to copy symbols from one bar to another, make sure that
“Repeats” is set to 1. This option is only available for copying, not for moving.
6. If you want this dialog to appear every time you perform the move/copy operation,
activate “Show Dialog”.
7. Click OK to close the dialog.
8. To copy the specified event types to another bar, hold down [Alt]/[Option], click on
the bar handle of the first bar and drag it to the “target” bar.
To move the event types instead of copying them, drag the bar handle without
holding down [Alt]/[Option].
• If you activated “Show Dialog”, the Bar Copy dialog appears, allowing you to
confirm your settings.
Click OK to close the dialog and perform the operation.
The following happens:
• If you activated “Note Symbols”, the note symbols are copied from the “source”
bar and pasted onto notes at the same positions in the “target” bar. If there is a
note symbol for a certain note in the “source” bar, but no note at the
corresponding position in the “target” bar, the symbol is ignored.
The actual positions of notes are used as a basis for this operation – not the
displayed positions.
• If you activated other types of symbols, these are simply moved to the same
graphical position in the “target” bar.
• If you set “Repeats” to a number larger than 1, the same symbols are pasted into
that number of bars (starting from the one you drag the bar handle to).
If you copy the note symbols from the first bar to the second bar…
…only symbols that find corresponding note positions in the second bar are copied.
