Duplicating Events
To duplicate the selected events, hold down [Option] (Mac) or [Ctrl] (Win-
dows) and proceed as when moving events.
➜
You can also use the Duplicate Track function on the Edit menu or
the track context menu.
This creates a copy of the selected track, complete with all events. The
duplicated track will appear below the original track in the track list.
Using Cut, Copy and Paste
You can move or duplicate events using the Cut, Copy and Paste commands
on the Edit menu. When you Paste, the events appear at the song position,
on their original track(s).
!
If you have deleted the original tracks, or if you Paste into another
Reason song document, new tracks will be created as needed.
➜
See the note below about Copying and Pasting whole tracks!
Using Copy and Paste to repeat a section
When you Cut or Copy a selection, the song position will automatically move
to the end of the selection (or, if Snap is activated, to the closest Snap value
position after the end of the selection). This allows you to quickly repeat a
section, in the following way:
1. Make sure playback is stopped.
2. Set the Snap value to “Bar” (or to the length of the section you want
to repeat, if is smaller than one bar).
3. Activate Snap.
4. Select the section you want to repeat.
Since you can make selections over several tracks, this is a quick way to
copy entire song sections.
!
Note that Snap doesn’t apply in quite the same way when selecting
Groups (see page 17). Make sure the selection contains exactly
what you want before proceeding.
5. Select Copy from the Edit menu.
The song position is moved to the closest snap value after the end of the
selection (provided that playback is stopped).
6. Select Paste from the Edit menu.
The copied section is pasted in, and the song position is moved to the
end of pasted section.
7. Paste again, as many times as you want to repeat the section.
Using Cut, Copy and Paste with Tracks
You can select one or several tracks by clicking or [Shift]-clicking in the track
list. This allows you to use Cut or Copy on the track, complete with contents.
➜
If you Paste the track(s) into their original song, this simply dupli-
cates the tracks.
However, the Pasted tracks will not be connected to any devices in the
rack.
➜
You can also Paste the track(s) into another song.
Note that only the tracks (complete with contents) are copied and pasted
- not their respective devices. You may want to separately copy and
paste the devices to the other song.
Deleting Events
To delete events in the Arrange view, select them and press [Delete], [Back-
space] or select Delete from the Edit menu.
