You are wanting to use normal texteditor behavior as a guide to what our
music score editor should do, so as to do things the user expects: good.
But, the analogy is not perfect: is a blank measure like the blank area
at the end of the text, or is it some music notation for a whole measure
rest?
I am happy to think of it as the former: and in practice the only cases
where I want to cut and paste are where there are no blank measures
(i.e. insert-paste) and where there are blank measures and I want to
fill them.
