To copy notes by dragging

  1. Select one or more notes. See Selecting Notes.
  2. Position the cursor over one of the notes so that it becomes a Move Cursor.
  3. Press the CTRL key and hold down the left mouse button.
  4. Drag the notes and release. The original notes are left unchanged, and the copied notes retain most of the properties of the original notes. However, the pitches and beat position of the copied notes may be different, depending on where you drag them.

When you use the CTRL key and drag feature to copy notes in Pattern Editor, notes are copied only into the variations they originally belonged to and which are open and displayed. The variations must have their buttons selected in the Variations strip. For example, if a note that belongs to Variations 1 and 3 is selected and copied to Variations 1 and 2 using the CTRL key and drag feature, the new note is copied only into Variation 1.
