I don't know the reason , but sometimes when I Paste measures or parts of a measure 1 more measure is created in the score

1/Select m. 3 Oboes
2) Paste into m. 3 Violin 1
3) The score creates 1 more measure I did'nt mean to create


I appreciate your always valuable help

It's because of the beam over barline, which is implemented in a (necessarily) funky way. Best to beam over the barline when you're done with everything else.

In the same plug-in folder you'll find one to remove the beams over the barline.
