Moving and Duplicating Selection Ranges
• To move a selection range, click and drag it to a new position.
This will move the contents of the selection range to the new position. If the
range intersected events or parts, these are split before moving, so that only
the sections within the selection range are affected.
• To duplicate a selection range, hold down [Alt]/[Option] and drag.
You can also use the duplicate, repeat, and fill loop functions that are available
for duplicating events.

Cutting, Copying, and Pasting Selection Ranges
You can cut or copy and paste selection ranges, using the functions on the Edit
menu. You can also use the Cut Time and Paste Time options.
Cut
Cuts out the data in the selection range and moves it to the clipboard. The
selection range is replaced by empty track space in the Project window,
meaning that events to the right of the range keep their positions.
Copy
Copies the data in the selection range to the clipboard.
Paste
Pastes the clipboard data to the start position and track of the current
selection. Existing events on the tracks remain at their original position.
Paste at Origin
Pastes the clipboard data back at its original position. Existing events on the
tracks remain at their original position.
This option is available in Edit > Functions.
Cut Time
Cuts out the selection range and moves it to the clipboard. Events to the right
of the removed range are moved to the left to fill the gap.
This option is available in Edit > Range.
Paste Time
Pastes the selection range from the clipboard to the start position and track
of the current selection. Existing events are moved to make room for the
pasted data.
This option is available in Edit > Range.
