Copy and pasting between tracks a quicker way ?

Instead of going back to the Track View, try using the Track Pane in the PRV to set the target track.

 I did before posting

tried it with other tracks also in track pane will not work for me .
 
i ahve noticed when i select a track in track pane , the track number in track view doesnt highlight , only the track name highlights , which i think is the  problem
 

Ok just checked on a new project and it works perfectly !!!
 
NO IDEA WHY IT DOES NOT WORK WITH EXISTING PROJECTS .
 
DOES ANYONE KNOW WHEN THIS FEATURE BECAME AVAIL??

I cant work out how to fix it but it WILL NOT ( just pastes the on the same track pane unless i click the track # in track view twice ) do it on my existing current project !
 
On a new project it works perfectly ,its so BEAUTIFUL , [link=mailto:SH@$]SH@$.[/link]
 
Any suggestions on anything that might fix this ??? Anyone !
 
 

IIRC, having a locked PRV in the project will prevent changing focus by selecting tracks in the PRV track pane of the active PRV.

I am not at my computer to try this atm, so going from memory... But If I remember correctly, if you click the clip you want, then press and hold ctrl on your keyboard then drag the clip to a new track, it creates a duplicate of that clip? You can also click the clip, press and hold ctrl + shift and this will duplicate the clip and align it exactly where it is in the track you are copying it from.
 
Give that a try?
 
P.S. if ctrl doesn't work, try alt?

No, it is Ctrl to copy.
 
Ctrl + Shift will preserve vertical alignment

As I said ^^^ I am going from memory, I have been using the shortcut tricks for so long I do them without thinking. Either way, that's the way I do, it. And yes, as I mentioned... holding shift will align the tracks. Thanks for correcting me.

I tried everything believe me between lots and lots of tracks in this project and it would not work , I have transferred everything and it works perfectly now , was defiantly a corrupt project .

Just to be clear this means you do not have a locked PRV tab in the Multidock...? Because this is the one thing I know of that will definitely cause this specific issue with changing track focus, and I verified it's still a problem in the current release.
 
I that isn't it, it's likely there's some other very specific cause, not just some indeterminate 'corruption'. If you can strip down the project to identify the cause, it might save the next guy a headache.

I am sure that I did check locked prv tab , in the transferred project it works with locked prv tab , but I will double check the original and the transfer tonight .

I am willing to check any suggestions to the original project to troubleshoot what might be causing this to help others , so please let me know anything you can think of that may fix this .

Thanks will let you know about prv tabs latter today

Not sure what happened I did a post but it disappeared so here it is again

I have found out what is happening with PRV TABS AND COPYING AND PASTING BETWEEN TRACKS !

1 )this is VERY INPORTANT PLEASE CAN SOMEONE CONFIRM THIS
A) New project
B) insert 2 midi tracks and add some midi notes to both
C) add both midi tracks to prv tab 1, and lock the tab
D) add the same 2 midi tracks to new prv tab 2
E) in prv tab 1 , hold right click on mouse and lasso midi from track 1
F) ctrl c
G) touch a midi note of track 2
H) ctrl v
I ) works perfectly BUT ONLY ON PRV TAB 1

For prv tab 2 +

C) add both midi tracks to prv tab 1, and lock the tab
D) add the same 2 midi tracks to new prv tab 2
E) in prv tab 2 ,hold right click on mouse and lasso midi from track 1
F) ctrl c
G) touch a midi note of track 2
H) on track console using mouse click select tool then smart tool
H(a) or using mouse hit track 2 number ( in track view twice )
I) ctrl v
This is the only way to get it to work on prv tabs 2 prv tab 3,4,5,6,7etc
The copy and paste feature on works properly on prv tab 1 .

Hope this helps

I think that's just a hyper-detailed way of describing what I mentioned earlier: Having a locked PRV in the project prevents changing focus in the active PRV. The workarounds are to change focus by clicking in the track view (not the track number, just the track header) or remove the locked PRV.
 
Note also that the PRVs don't have to share tracks. For example, if PRV1 contains only Track 1 and is locked, you won't be able to change focus between tracks 2 and 3 in another PRV - the focus highlight will move, but the highlighted track doesn't actually become the target for pasting.

Ok I understand all of that and I wish I did sooner, I hope this gets fixed .

I am trying for the life of me to unlock all 3 prv tabs and it still will not work on tabs 2 and 3 ?

however I have a idea !!!!

Screensets ! 😃 If you need more than one prv tab and you can name the screenset as the midi tab you need !

The purpose of locking PRVs (and other views) is to allow opening more than one, but only one can be active at a time.
 
Good thinking to use screensets.
