Me and my newbie Q's. 
 
For a test MIDI project, I recorded 1 measure of drums (4 beats of a simple kick/snare/hi-hat pattern).  It creates a small clip (I think that's the proper term?) or section.  But I want that pattern to be 6 measures long.  I can copy the clip, but then I have 6 little sections lined up together.  Is there a way for all 6 measures to be part of one big clip, without having to actually play 6 measures of drums?  I hope I'm explaining this well enough.

Select the clips and "Bounce to Clip(s)" from the Track View Clips Menu

Excellent! Thank you!
 
I do search the documentation before coming here, but I find it hard to understand or to know the terminology that matches what I'm looking for.  I would have never thought "bounce" when it comes to combining.  *scratches head*
