Using the following technique, you can copy Smart Shape slurs from one place in the music to another, or from one staff to another. See also SmartFind and Paint dialog box.

To copy Smart Shape slurs

1. Click the Selection tool  .
2. Choose Edit > Copy Items. The Edit Filter dialog box appears.
3. Click Smart Shapes (Attached to Notes). Click OK (or press ENTER).
4. Select the region containing the Smart Shapes you want to copy. See Selecting music for some region-selecting shortcuts.
5. Drag the first source measure so that it’s superimposed on the first target measure. If the first target measure is not on-screen, scroll until you see it. Then, while pressing CTRL and shift simultaneously, click the first target measure. In either case, the Copy Measures” dialog box appears (unless you’re copying to the same measure on a different staff).
6. Type the number of times you want the Smart Shapes copied (horizontally). Click OK (or press ENTER).
