Copy Double and Copy Halve Note Values

Version 02.20.00
Added 10 Apr 2011 (last updated 09 Aug 2012)

For use with Sibelius 5, Sibelius 6 and Sibelius 7

Copy Double Note Values and Copy Halve Note Values are variants of the shipping plugins Double Note Values and Halve Note Values. These plugins double or halve the durations of the selected notes, then put their results into the clipboard, rather than into a separate score. You can then paste the results into any score with the normal Paste command.

There are several things to note:

1. There will be no dialog. You can tell when it is finished when the progress bar and Stop button go away. Do not try to paste until that happens.

2. Only notes will be copied (no text or other bar objects). No system objects will be copied, even if you start with a system (double box) selection, and bars will never be inserted - notes will always flow into the destination bars.

3. The plugin temporarily adds bars to the score you copy *from*, and so will mark that score as having been edited (it dirties the score). So if you close that score it will ask you to save changes. If you have made no other edits, it is safe to either save changes or not.

Updated 9 August 2012 to clean up some unused code. No functionality change.
