To copy and insert using the clipboard

1. Specify the musical elements you would like to copy in the Edit Filter dialog box. See To specify what you want to copy. Or, to copy everything, uncheck Use Filter under the Edit menu. (Tempo changes are the exception; they are not included when Use Filter is unchecked. See To copy tempo changes.)
2. With the Selection Tool   selected, highlight a region of measures. Or, highlight a region with any tool that allows regional selection. For details, see Selecting music.
3. Press Ctrl-C. The music is loaded to the clipboard.  
4. Select a measure (or partial measure) that begins at the desired target and press Ctrl-I to insert. You indicate where you want the copied material to appear by selecting the notes or measures just after it. So, if you want the copied music to appear between measures 3 and 4, click measure 4. Finale inserts a copy of the selected music, nudging all subsequent notes in the staff (or staves) to the right the duration of the inserted material (see Rebarring music).

Note: Finale adds new measures to accommodate notes nudged beyond the final barline.
