Sonar X2: How can I "mix" two Matrix projects

Hi,
I am organizing a Live act using Sonar X2 Matrix.
I finished preparing my tracks, one project per track.
Now I realize it would be a better experience to have the tracks being played non stop, one track leading to another.
Only solution I can think of would be to have one project with all the tracks setup in one Matrix.
But so far I didn't manage to "copy" a Matrix from a project to another. Indeed there is no "copy/paste" for cells the same way you have with midi clips. You can "move" a midi clip from a project to another, but not a Matrix cell...

If I could find the clips being played from the cells, I could start from there, but so far I don't understand where this data is.. 

Any idea?

Thanks,
Laurent

    Can you export and then import?

    Export and import what?
    The tracks behind the Matrix are empty.
    Let me explain again:
    - I have a track export (stem) of my track.
    - I cut it into small audio clips
    - I drag the audio clip into the matrix
    - I delete all audio clips from the tracks.

    Now I'm all set with my Matrix but I have nothing to export do I?

    You are correct nothing to export. Can't you save the project under another name? Both projects would then have the same matrix entries.

    Interesting... you mean save both projects to the same name?

    Anyone else knows how to manipulate the result of your matrix manipulation?

    This problem + my Live triggering latency issue makes Sonar Matrix unusable so far..

    how much latency are you getting with the audio triggers?

    and for merging matrix projects just open them side by side and drag cells from one matrix to the other.

    Are you sure?
    Because I obviously tried that. That's what I do for copying audio and midi clips from project to another.
    But it din't work at all for me.

    I tried again with blank projects, just with one loop on each Matrix and didn't work either.. it just duplicated the EXISTING clip... which is just plain weird
