def __deepcopy__(self, memo=None):
        '''
        Helper method to copy.py's deepcopy function.  Call it from there.

        memo=None is the default as specified in copy.py

        Problem: if an attribute is defined with an understscore (_priority) but
        is also made available through a property (e.g. priority)  using dir(self)
        results in the copy happening twice. Thus, __dict__.keys() is used.

        >>> from copy import deepcopy
        >>> from music21 import note, duration
        >>> n = note.Note('A')
        >>> n.offset = 1.0 #duration.Duration("quarter")
        >>> n.groups.append("flute")
        >>> n.groups
        ['flute']

        >>> idN = n.id
        >>> idN > 10000  # pointer
        True
        
        >>> b = deepcopy(n)
        >>> b.offset = 2.0 #duration.Duration("half")

        >>> n is b
        False
        >>> b.id != n.id
        True        
        >>> n.accidental = "-"
        >>> b.name
        'A'
        >>> n.offset
        1.0
        >>> b.offset
        2.0
        >>> n.groups[0] = "bassoon"
        >>> ("flute" in n.groups, "flute" in b.groups)
        (False, True)
