Paste at Original Position/Paste Multiple at Original Position
These two commands (Edit menu, or key commands (see “Key Commands” on page 44)
allow you to quickly copy passages from one MIDI Region to another, at exactly the
same time position. Here, you do not need to think about the insert position at all, and
the automatic insert quantization will not be applied.
This is the ideal method for copying a whole musical phrase, including all symbols, to
the staves of other instruments. Remember that for Paste Multiple…, all destination
staves need to be selected.
These commands can be very useful when used in combination with Select Similar, for
example when copying all dynamic symbols from one staff into other staves/
instruments.
Repeat Objects
This dialog box is already covered (see “Copying Regions” on page 132). It can be
opened from the local Edit menu, or with a key command. In the Score window, it is
especially useful for copying complete bars (or multiple copies), without having to set
any bar positions. As an example, in the case described above, where a bar begins with
a rest on one. In that situation, select all notes and symbols from that bar (rubber band
selection), open Repeat Objects, insert the number of desired copies, set Adjustment to
Bar, and press Enter.
Copy MIDI Events
This dialog box is already covered (see “Copying Events Selectively” on page 168). It can
be opened with a key command, and provides many options, such as merely moving,
rather than copying events. In the Score Editor, these operations affect all selected
Regions.
Nudge key commands
Under the name Nudge Event Position by…, there is a whole group of key commands,
which move all selected objects by various steps along the time axis. For Score work,
the following Nudge commands are the most useful:
• Nudge Event Position by Bar
+
1/
−
1: move events forward/back one bar
• Nudge Event Position by Beat
+
1/
−
1: move events forward/back one beat
• Nudge Event Position by Format
+
1/
−
1: move events forward/back one Format step
(as set in the Transport window)
The following key commands can be used to move any score symbol that can be
positioned independent of notes or staves, as well as text events and chord symbols:
• Nudge Position Up
• Nudge Position Down
• Nudge Position Left
• Nudge Position Right
