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.
