Matt,

I tried a few other things as follows:

-------------
Copy Rests

Copy Rests from Bar # = 2
Num Bars to Copy = 3
Copy To Bar Num # = 17
Beat # = 1

Assuming bars 2, 3 and 4 are:

|G..b / C...s /|F.g / / /|G..p / / /|

and bars

17-20 are:

|G / F /|C / / / |F / / /|

you get

|G..b / F..b / / / |C..b / / /|F..b / / /|

Notice how only one beat gets copied. The Copy Rests dialog (pop-up) in the beats setting implies all 4 beats will be copied if left at one (1). However, when I tested at beat 3, it only copies the one beat (e.g., shot, hold, rest) to all target bars and beats with chords on them.


if bars 17-20 are (and beat in dialog = 1:

|G / F G|C / / / |F / / /|

you get

|G..b / F..b G..b|C..b / / /|F..b / / /|

Notice how the held chord in the source becomes a shot in the target (no pun intended)

Lastly, with the beat set to 3, and the same target bars, you get:

|G...s / F...s G...s|C...s / / /|F...s / / /|

Looks like the only way this works is if there is only one chord per bar for both source and target and on the same beat.

(sorry for the ASCII/TEXT presentation, but I don't have a good way to post screen shot links from the system I'm using for the forum)

-*********
A quick edit: The same thing happens with only one source and one target bar (meaning only 1 beat rest, hold, or shot has precedence).

Interesting... Not sure if this is what PG intended.
