Pasting Passages at the Same Time Position
You can use the Paste at Original Position and Paste Multiple at Original Position
commands to quickly copy passages from one MIDI region to another—at the same
time position. No insert position is required, and no automatic insert quantization takes
place.
To copy an entire musical passage to the same time position in another region:
1
Select the notes and symbols of the passage.
2
Select the staff you want to paste the passage to.
3
Choose Edit > Paste at Original Position (or use the Paste at Original Position key
command).
The notes and symbols are pasted at the position they were originally copied from,
regardless of the current playhead position.
The Paste Multiple at Original key command works in a similar way, but allows you to
paste a musical passage to the staffs of other instruments. All destination staffs need to
be selected before the Paste Multiple command is executed.
∏
Tip: You can use these commands in combination with the Select Similar function, to
quickly copy all dynamic symbols from one staff into other staffs/instruments, for
example.
Repeating Events
The Repeat Events command is especially useful for copying complete bars (or multiple
copies), without setting any bar positions.
As an example, to copy a bar that begins with a rest on one:
1
Select all notes and symbols.
2
Choose Edit > Repeat Events (or use the Repeat Regions/Events key command).
3
Insert the number of desired copies, set Adjustment to Bar, and press Enter.
