Editing multiple or All tracks at once

Sometimes I am working on a music and I would like to repeat a portion of the music multiple times (lets say a two bars segment that includes all the tracks).  I find that in Sonar I have difficulty doing this as there doesn't seem to be an official way of doing this.. I select regions and clips by hand and CTRL-Drag them sideways and often this creates problems and overlaps etc... Is there a way to select ALL THE TRACKS for a specific length and say: "Duplicate this portion 8 times at this point while pushing back material past the insert point accordingly" ? It would be so helpfull,,, In ProTools, doing this is so easy! If I select a portion in the upper control bar, it selects all the tracks at this portion. I then go anywhere I want, click again in the upper control bar and this selects an insert point on All the Tracks. I then do "CTRL D" (Duplicate) 8 times and Voila!... In Sonar I haven found how too achieve this efficiently..
 
Thank you for any advice

Thank you for the answer but the copy Special has a huge bug when you select "Slide over old to make room". Selecting "Slide over old to make room" is supposed to push old data forward past the editing point, thus "Keeping Intact" the rest of the song... but I tried it "Paste Special" many times while selecting "Slide over old to make room", and the data past the edit point gets mangled and cut up without any logic... I am suprised that Sonar programmers have done such a sloppy job on this...

The best way is to set the Now time marker where you want the material duplicated, Select All (ctrl + a), S for Split, then go Project Insert Time/Measures to insert however many blank measures you want.
 
Then you can just copy & paste existing material into the hole created.
 
You might have to split the material to be pasted at the start & end points of your selection.

Thank you so much, you gave me a good "work around" solution. But the fact remains that the "Slide over old to make room" option is not working correctly
I will contact bug report
 

Wonder if we'll see Ripple Editing before Christmas?

is there a bug report thread? What is the simplest way to report a bug?
 

The Slide Over to Make Room issue is so enduring it has a permanent place of honor in the ReadMe as a known issue; no need to re-report it. You just need to make your own hols in advance with Cut/Paste, Slide or Insert Measures.
