To paste the Clipboard contents into several regions
1
Select all appropriate regions (either in the Arrange area or Score Editor) by Shift-clicking
the staffs/regions, or dragging to select adjacent regions.
The Display Parameter box title line always indicates the number of regions that are
currently selected. (See
2
Choose Edit > Paste Multiple (or use the Paste Multiple key command.)
Automatic Insert Quantization
When you paste (or paste multiple) objects from the Clipboard, the position of the first
inserted event is automatically quantized, in accordance with the current division value
(set in the Transport bar). For example, if the current bar position is 4.1.1.37, and the
division value is set to 1/16, the pasted object is inserted at position 4.1.1.1, whether it’s
a note or a symbol. When the Clipboard contains more than one object, their relative
positions from the first object are retained.
If you don’t want this behavior (because you want to preserve the unquantized timing
of the original), you are better served by other copy methods.
Pasting Passages at the Same Time Position
You can use the Paste at Original Position and Paste Multiple at Original Position
commands to quickly copy passages from one MIDI region to another, at the same time
position. No insert position is required, and no automatic insert quantization takes place.
To copy an entire musical passage to the same time position in another region
1
Select the notes and symbols of the passage.
2
Select the staff you want to paste the passage to.
3
Choose Edit > Paste at Original Position (or use the Paste at Original Position key
command).
The notes and symbols are pasted at the position they were originally copied from,
regardless of the current playhead position.
The Paste Multiple at Original key command works in a similar way, but allows you to
paste a musical passage to the staffs of other instruments. All destination staffs need to
be selected before the Paste Multiple command is executed.
Tip: You can use these commands in combination with the Select Similar function, to
quickly copy all dynamic symbols from one staff into other staffs or instruments, for
example.
Deleting Objects in the Score Editor
You can only delete events that are actually displayed in the Score Editor. For example,
if you erase notes from a real-time recording in the Score Editor, MIDI controller events
or pitch bend data that was recorded with these notes is not deleted.
