Re: [Denemo-devel] Paste again

[Richard Shann]

Ok, after a make install step the paste is functional. (Sorry about my
confusing messages).
I have not tested the new Paste much, but I notice that when pasting a
single note or short group into a sequence of empty measures the cursor
goes on to the next measure each time, even though the one being pasted
into is not full. This is single staff selections, of course.
This means you cannot repeatedly paste a short figure (e.g. grace note
slurred to three triplet 1/8 notes) into a measure, as the groups pasted
will be placed in successive measures.
This doesn't seem to be what you intended - you said

> Singlestaff-Pasting will fill any empty measure on its way,

- well, I suppose you were not referring to repeated pastes filling an
empty measure. Ok, I see what you meant.
Still, I think it would be much better if it allowed repeated pasting
into empty measures. A staff full of empty measures is what you get when
you have transcribed one part and are working on a second part.
Another - very similar point. Pasting at the end of a measure does not
create a new measure, which I would expect it to. I think of Pasting as
the same as typing in the things that are on the clipboard one after the
other into denemo.

Oh dear! I hope I don't sound to negative. Paste is such a nightmare.
