Piano Roll Shift+Drag To Copy Notes?

Hey guys,

I'm using Sonar 8.5 Studio and am having a difficult time copying some notes in the Piano Roll.  Isn't Shift+Drag supposed to copy the notes?  It usually works for me the first time I try to do it, but doesn't really work after that.

What I'm trying to do is select a group of notes (a drum pattern) and copy it a few times via Shift+Drag so it covers a couple of bars.  This worked perfectly the first time I did it, but then it would no longer copy the selection, it would only move the notes.  I could only copy one note at a time, and only the original notes would copy (I couldn't copy any notes that were created by copying).

If I try to copy and paste, it copies the entire clip, which is not what I'm looking to do.  I also don't want to convert it to a grove clip as I want to add/change the drum piece over time.

I hope that made sense.  Anyone have an idea what might be going wrong?  Or perhaps there is a better way?

Thanks,
Délé

    Thanks sharpdion23.  Unfortunately Ctrl+Drag does not work either.  Shift+Drag seems to work on a rare occasion.  I just can't figure out why it only occasionally works though. :/
