Overlapping MIDI clips

Hi,
 
Is there a way to find all overlapping MIDI clips?  Sometimes when creating copies by ctrl-dragging, I unknowingly create copies that end up covering each other and when I go back later to edit it in the piano roll, I have endless trouble removing notes before I realise that I have to midi clips on top of each other...
 
Regards,
B

    If you're talking about duplicated clips contianing the same material, you could just bounce them together and use the Undupe CAL to remove the dupes. I might not be necessary to bounce them first, but I'm not sure how Undupe handles multiple clips. Normally SONAR will not allow overlapping clips in the same lane, but doing a Copy-Paste without moving the Now time or changing the destination track is one way it can still happen.

    I'm pretty sure if you have unbounced overlapping clips, undupe won't care a bit, provided they are all selected at track level.

    I did a quick check; it doesn't see the same events in separate clips as being dupes.

    Click the Take Lanes button in the lower left corner of the track header to expand lanes. I suggest you do this all the time. (I know in some situations Sonar creates a new lane even when clips aren't overlapped. Take Lanes are not very helpful IMO.)

    Really?
     
    Maybe this has changed over version revisions. I haven't used undupe for a while and I completely trust your findings.
