I could be wrong, but I suspect that since you deleted everything in bars 1-4, then when you went to copy the melody of bars 1-4 to 5-9, it copied "nothing", since there was nothing there to copy, and then left what was there. That's just a guess.

Instead, why not use the command, "Edit, Erase..From..To". Then check the melody box and set your bars. That should erase the melody within the bars you specify.
