First, make sure the systems are unlocked. If they were locked, maybe that
was the problem. Unlock them and run a spacing routine.

Can I presume there were no lyrics in the original file? If there were, go
to Lyrics tool > Edit Text and check each text window for lyricss. If found,
highlight and erase them. Then run a spacing routine again.

This is confusing. You would use Insert instead of Paste (not Copy). In any
event, when using Insert, you highlight only one measure. Finale will insert
the material from the clipboard,and the measure you highlighted will be
moved to the end of the inserted material.
