As suggested in the ticket about multi-measures copy/paste
  1. select multiple measures
  2. choose action (i.e. copy / paste / edit) => here EDIT
  3. edit => I would think of editing ONE single element (i.e. HiHat, snare, kick => user choice) AT ONCE, for all the selected mesures.
Workflow => If you choose Hihat : just display the first measure of the selected ones... modify HH (the other lines should be read only) ... click "Apply" => your new HH pattern is applied to all the selected measures.
Same principle applies for kick, snare, and so on... one by one.
