Automatic pasting into another voice #20518

Open julenComposer opened 10 months ago

Your idea

Dear all, I propose you to consider a new feature for pasting a certain passage into a different voice, without using voice-exchange + selection filter workarounds.

Problem to be solved

Currently you can use the voice swap-tool to re-assign the voice playing your materials. However, when I have a new idea that requires me to copy-paste some previous elements into a different voice, currently the only option seems to be using a combination of voice-swap function and selection filter. This might add some firction to the workflow, and also I have found that with less performative machines (or even when working on large files) this can temporarily freeze the software, which is always a bit unsettling.

Pasting a selection from one voice into another voice is something I used to do all the time with Encore when I used that, and definitely a feature I've missed in MuseScore, particularly because of some very curious "design limitations" with the exchange voices and "use voice x" commands (particular wrt partial measures and/or tuplets).
