Er no.

Jus tried that to verify this. What it does is OVERWRITE whatever is there on the target bar-range.

I want to INSERT exactly the same number of bars as in the highlighted range and then copy those changes into the newly inserted bars.

Now of course I could "just" do an insert manually first - but the whole point of my feature suggestion is to cut out that stage and thus simplify such a common task.
