Melodyne - Copying Notes - Help Please (Solved)

Shouldn't "shift+alt+click-drag" let you copy notes and change their pitch while leaving originals?  That doesn't work.
 
When hovering over a note blob the pitch tool does not appear in any region of the note.  I can get the cursor to change to the separation tool, and the time shift tool, but never the pitch tool.  If I select the pitch tool first, from the tool bar then yes, but still can only drag notes, not copy them.
 
I'm using the trial Editor right now, had the same issue in Essential.
 
Am I dense - don't answer that...anyone else have that happen?

    If you want to create an additional voicing for a take I'd recommend you to copy the entire clip to a new track and create the new voicing here instead, by just moving the notes instead of copying them within the same melodyne clip. This would give you much more freedom later in the mixing stage.

    Yeah, that's what I'm doing.  Okay, thanks.

    From the manual:
     
    "Blobs in the editing area can be selected using all the standard techniques: clicking, [Shift]-clicking,
    marquee/lasso/rubber-band selection, etc. In addition, the edit menu offers a sub-menu with a variety
    of selection commands. To make a selection, use one of the following techniques:
    Standard techniques such as clicking, [Shift]-clicking and lassoing to select and deselect notes
    [Shift]-click and then drag the mouse to enter Snake Selection mode
    Select notes by clicking or dragging in the pitch ruler; double-clicking selects notes with the
    same name in all octaves rather than simply at the pitch clicked
    In the pitch ruler also, you can [Shift]-click or [Shift]-drag to add or remove notes from the
    selection
    In the Edit menu, you will find the usual Select All command but also a sub-menu with special
    selection commands
     
    Melodyne allows you to cut, copy and paste blobs. If prior to pasting a blob (the ‘source’ blob) you
    select another (the ‘target’ blob), when you paste, the former will replace the latter. If no blob is
    selected at the time of pasting, the source blob will be pasted at the cursor position. If, however, the
    blob was offset from the grid prior to copying, it will be offset from the playback cursor after pasting
    and by the same amount; if you want the insert point and the cursor position to coincide exactly, set
    the time grid to Seconds prior to pasting."

    Good videos on Celemony site on copying and moving notes.  Just click on "Melodyne Editor."  You'll see them halfway down the page:

    I read and watched the vids and finally saw another YouTube post that explained that the copied notes are sitting on top of the originals.  "I did not know that."  And the Alt+Shift+drag is not a function in Melodyne apparently.  Anyhoo, learning continues.

    Yeah, the "copy on top" thing is a little odd, but once you know they exist it's easy to move them where needed as the immediate next step.  I've done that many times to generate in-place harmonies.
