Chelsea Catalone Thanks for your comment, Chelsea! This enhancement is planned but development hasn't begun for this yet. I will be updating the status to "In Progress" once development starts and will also be posting updates here once there's more to share. Thanks for contributing to the Beat Note community! Best, Derek

Hi Derek,
What I would feel would be good is :
- select multiple measures
would need a way to enter in "select mode"
- choose action (i.e. copy / paste / edit)
3.a. copy/paste => object of this ticket
3.b. edit => I would think of editing ONE single element (i.e. HiHat, snare, kick => user choice) AT ONCE, for all the selected mesures.
Workflow => If you choose Hihat : just display the first measure of the selected ones... modify HH (the other lines should be read only) ... click "Apply" => your new HH pattern is applied to all the selected measures.
Same principle applies for kick, snare, and so on... one by one.
Maybe would need a separate ticket for the EDIT workflow ?
(if this is even possible of course...)

Gilles Mercier: Thanks for your thoughts here! I also thought a "select" mode might be helpful for this feature. 👍🏻
As you suggested, I agree that a separate ticket would be best for the feature request of being able to edit multiple measures. This sounds like a very valid use case, but also a complicated one, and it would require some extra design effort. Let's keep this ticket specifically for copy/paste and, if you don't mind, please create a new ticket for editing multiple measures at one time. Thanks!

Several users have requested the ability to copy/paste multiple measures when composing their beats. I'm currently researching various ways to implement this functionality, and I aim to ensure that it is intuitive. Please share any feedback or ideas you have about copy/paste here. Thanks!
