First off, why is copying so incredibly complicated?
I don't see any way at all to copy from one document to another that will copy:
1. all notes and expressions/articulations
2. all smart shapes (measure- or note-attached)
3. all clef changes
4. tempo tool alterations
Am I missing something? Indeed, I see no way at all to force copying of clef changes.
Hmm, I always thought that copying to a clip file, then INSERTING the clip file (not simply copying from the clip file) preserved everything (including clef changes, smartshapes, key changes, etc.) except staff lists for measure-attached expressions. I then realised that I don't know about tempo tool alterations, as I never use them. Did you try copying to a clip file, then INSERTING before the first bar in the target file? You hold down the alt key then control C to copy, and hold down the alt key then select Insert from the Edit menu.

Hm, I just tried it. Apparently it only copies clef CHANGES; it won't put the first part of the passage in the default clef of the staff you copied from, but rather in the default clef of the staff you are copying TO. Keys were copied, though. But yes, as I always knew, it ignored my staff lists in the target file for measure-attached expressions.
