Description
Your idea
Currently we cannot copy and paste header items (Title, Subtitle, Composer) from one file to another. Would like to be able to do this.
Problem to be solved
Currently cannot do this at all. Often we have books that have identical items (like composer info or a show credit for a movie or musical) and it saves time to be able to just select and copy those items for pasting into the next file.

Research direction
The issue names no implementation files, tests, or entry points. Start by locating the header-item selection and copy/paste handling in MuseScore, then trace how Title, Subtitle, and Composer items are represented across files. Done means those items can be selected, copied from one file, and pasted into another without losing their content.
