In the web editor, http://irealbook.net/editor/ I've found that I can highlight multiple measures by using left-click/hold/drag. Then click "copy" (located next to "Insert Beat") Click on the beat where you want to place the beginning of your copied material, then click one of the "Paste" buttons below "copy".
If you are copying the first line, you'll find that you've also copied the time-signature and rehearsal mark.
Both can easily be deleted from your pasted material by selecting the initial beat and clicking the "X" in the appropriate section.
Clicking on the little blue "?" offers this help:
iReal Book Web Editor Help: Copy and Paste
Drag the mouse across the bars and beats of the song that you want to select. (The Copy and Cut buttons will remain grayed out and disabled until you make a selection).
Press the Copy button to copy the content of the selection into memory or the Cut button to copy the content of the selection into memory and delete the selection.
Click on the location in the song where you want to paste and press one of the two Paste buttons.
Paste-Over will copy the selection over the existing bars and beats starting at the current position of the cursor.
Paste-Insert will copy the selection at the current position of the cursor pushing forward the rest of the song. (Parts of the chart that are pushed beyond the allowed 12 staves will be lost).
Hope you enjoy using the editor and contributing to the forum,
