# Standard copy-paste

Quickly add repeating parts of the song

In the standard copy-paste mode, all selected notes are copied - their relative positions, durations, tones, types & lyrics as well as the way they are divided into lines. When you paste the copied notes somewhere else - you will replace selected notes (if there are any) with what you copied.

In order to mark the spot in which you want to paste the notes, you can add a temporary note:

Now go to the section that you want to copy, select the notes and press `ctrl + c` shortcut (or go to menu *Edit* -> *Copy*)

Once the notes are copied, go back to the temporary note and select it:

Now with focus in the main editor paste the notes using `ctrl + v` shortcut (or go to menu *Edit* -> *Paste*):

As you can see in this example, you can copy whole parts of the song easily, preserving all of the notes' properties.
