To copy and insert by dragging

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. While holding down the ALT key, click and drag the source music to position the vertical red line where you would like to insert.
4. Release the mouse button. Finale inserts a copy of the selected music starting at the position of the red insertion cursor, nudging subsequent notes in the staff (or staves) to the right the duration of the inserted material. Finale inserts a copy of the selected music just before the target region, nudging all subsequent notes in the staff (or staves) to the right the duration of the inserted material (see Rebarring music).
