These artifacts can be painstakingly removed, but they are seemingly
something peculiar to 2008. I'm sure there's an obscure button I
need to
uncheck. I remain distrustful of the :filters" in the EDIT menu;-(
BTW, MAKEMUSIC Support "fixed" the crashing after pastes by

I can't explain the rests, unless you unintentionally copied a bit of
Layer 2 from an adjacent measure, which is easy enough to do now that
there is no more Select Partial Measure to turn off (were you
talking about Voice 2 or Layer 2? Sometimes I get confused, too.)
When selecting parts of a passage, I am careful to click IN the
beginning bar to select the whole bar, then click or shift-click a
second time where I want the selection to end. At least it STARTS at
the beginning of the measure correctly then.
But don't be afraid of the filters. They are great. I use them
extensively and the only problems I have had are:
1) when copying Measure Attributes they will copy the double barlines
alright, but NOT the toggle that says Break A Multimeasure Rest, nor
other attributes other than the barline itself. This causes unbroken
rests, missing expressions, etc. Now that I know, I work around it,
but still...
2) When copying Staff Styles between staves, sometimes the style will
not show up in the linked part until I select All with the Staff Tool
and choose Reset Staff Styles to Score while in the part.
