cuz you didn't assign staff 2 to voice 2 and select only voice 2 before paste.
See my previous post on how to do this.

  Ok. I'm drawing a blank here. I created the 2 staves one for voice 1 and one 
for voice 2 but when I paste the voice 2 staff it overwrites voice 1 ands I end 
up with a mess. what am I doing wrong? Thanks.
