The practice of taking bits and pieces of multiple takes of the same track and piecing them together to make a single track that works throughout is known as "Compilation".

Or, in the vernacular of the Studio Engineer, "Comping".

I like to use Volume Envelopes for this task, turning all the other tracks down while at the same time turning the one track desired up. This avoids the tedious cut and pasting, pops and clicks when it doesn't cut right at zero crossing point, and perhaps best of all is nondestructive, you can always go back and change just one part of it to one of the other tracks if such is needed while building the mix.

Powertracks can do this via the Pianoroll feature, which has a dropdown for Audio Volume CC insertion with the mouse. I'd like to see it get changed someday such that we can draw the Volume Envelopes right overtop of the Waveform View as done in many other topnotch DAW programs.
