Copying annotations from one tier to another tier
This variant copies annotations from one tier to another, already existing, tier (so the tier itself is not copied).
This process consists of three steps and can be started via the menu.
In the first step select one source tier from which to copy the annotations.
In the second step one destination tier can be selected. Listed are dependent tiers of the source tier and all independent, top-level tiers.
The third step allows to specify which annotations to copy and whether or not existing annotations on the destination tier can be overwritten.
