Re: [Denemo-devel] new paste

[Nils Gey]

I'm sorry to revert that again. Forwardselection of barlines is only possible 
if followed by an empty measure.
I request that selecting barlines is possible all the time. Otherwise paste has 
try to guess if the user wants a tailing measure break if he selects a complete 
measure. This will go wrong in 50% of the cases, which is not acceptable.
So please make it possible that a selection from left to right can end in a 
barline.

I hope this is my last change of observation and opinion :)
