Copying and pasting chords

With Pizzicato Professional 3, you can select chords and copy them to another position. The trick is to use the drag/drop function used in the context of music composition tools. Here is how to do it:

Select the measures that contains the series of chords to copy.

While holding down the SHIFT and CONTROL keys, click and drag the first measure of the selection. You will see that Pizzicato will display in red the measure, beat and unit numbers of destination, while you are moving the mouse in the direction of the destination measure. With this, you can shift the chords by one or more beats.

When you have reached the destination measure, release the mouse button, then release the SHIFT and CONTROL keys. A dialog appears so as to define what aspect of the music needs to be copied. Disable the "Transfer rhythm" option as well as the "Transfer notes" option and check the "Transfer chords" option. Click OK.

The chord series is then copied to the destination.
