Paste annotation
In a similar way you can paste these annotations from the clipboard into ELAN:
Go to the tier where you want to paste the annotation
Select or press CTRL+V

Annotations can only be pasted onto tiers of the same tier type! If you want to copy the annotation to a tier of a different type, use Duplicate Annotation (see the section called “Duplicate annotation”). |
Please note that pasting an annotation can result in different behavior according to the context:
By default the annotation is pasted onto the tier where it originates from.
If that is impossible (i.e. there is no tier with the same name as the originating tier, e.g. in another file) the copy of the annotation will be placed on the active tier (see the section called “Make a tier the active tier” on how to activate a tier)
However, pasting an annotation will never change the time alignment of that annotation unit. This means that the annotation will be placed on exactly the same time as it was found when the copy operation was performed. If you want to change its timing, move it afterwards or use the Paste annotation here option (see the section called “Paste annotation here”).
