Re: [Denemo-devel] new paste

[Nils Gey]

Still more thoughts:
a) In Singlestaff selection it should be optional if the user selects a barline 
or not. So the user has the choice to select the first and/or the last barline 
in a selection. This can be exactly pasted as selected.
b) In Multistaff selection the first and last barline should be always selected 
since multistaff always selects whole measures. 

If this is not possible since barlines in Denemo are something special please 
say directly and in that case forbid a barline as first copied object as well. 
(Reminder: This is possible if you select from right to left).

I expect some confusion about this topic, maybe its better to speak about this 
in IRC. But un-eqaul behaviours are the problems that make paste hard to do.
