Christopher,

Do you have your measure edit focus set on partial measures? If that is the case, unless the entire measure is selected by a double click, you will not be able to transfer the broken beams. In fact many items only correctly copy and paste if they are considered as belonging to an entire measure and not a partial measure.

Ok, I'm getting frustrated with this now.

I have a long passage of sixteenth note triplets in 6/8. I have broken the secondary beams between each third note so that I don't have double beams for nine consecutive notes, but I have done this in the first bar, intending to copy the beam edits to the succeeding bars.

I cannot do this, however. I still haven't got my brain around the new copying behaviour.

When I select MAss Edit>Copy Item>Entry Items... Stem and Beam alterations, as I expected to work, I get no effect whatsoever when I drag the first measure onto the second. I tried the new Shift-cmd-C and selected Entries>Stem and Beam Alterations, but when I pasted onto the second measure I got rythmic wierdness, plus the entries themselves copied over.

Can somebody step me through this, as if I was an idiot (which I appear to be?)

Christopher
