Drag a part marker (or any bar #) to another bar on the screen. This will copy bars starting at the bar that you dragged, continuing to the next part marker, and inserting them at the bar that you dropped. Here's a video showing it... http://screencast.com/t/JlsWQ53G Here's a second video, showing that you can drag any bar number to another bar number (not just a part marker), and also shows use of 'k' (kwik copy) command. http://screencast.com/t/thoZUkxNTUzv If you type 'k' followed by N# of bars, it will copy the last N bars to the destination e.g. k4 <ENTER> If you type 'k' followed by N# of bars, followed by a comma and the source bar # (M), it will copy the last N bars to the destination, starting at bar M e.g. k4,5 <ENTER> This will copy 4 bars to the current position, copying from bar 5 Have Fun!

My biggest challenge is remembering all the TONS of key strokes in different software. I usually just use the generic ones or resort to menus. My memory isn't what it used to be. But I can surely remember to drag & drop! Thanks for this! Dan My YT Channel- http://www.youtube.com/user/dfizzbom
