If you have no intention of cloning any settings from the original (e.g. the synth it's routed to), just insert a new MIDI track and then ctl-drag the original clip(s) down into the new track.

That works, as long as you don't want to preserve any of the settings found in the inspector e.g. snap to scale, arpeggiator settings etc. 

You're welcome.
 
 
Although I more often use Bit's method.

Can't you unlink the clips after the clone?

It's not that the clips are linked, it's that the track's mute/solo functionality is linked to the synth track it was originally linked to. You know how when you have an audio/MIDI pair linked to the same synth and their mute/solo buttons are grouped? The cloned track inherits that grouping. 

Uh, but can't you just re-assign the track after you clone it? That's just a single pulldown.
 

Or does it not allow to select "nothing"? (not at DAW right now)

Nope, Sonar will not allow you to point a MIDI track at nothing.

I have often just highlighted the whole track and held Control and Alt while dragging it down to bottom of the track list.  Sonar automatically creates a new MIDI track.

Yes, I remember your last post about this now. There has to be a reason they implemented it this way.

Not at my DAW, isn't there a "Duplicate" option? Or is audio tracks handled differently? Reason I ask is that I remember cloning audio tracks and not having them "linked" as you described.

Also, are the mute and solo button's the only parameters that are linked?

Hrm, I'll have to check this out myself. It's weird that the two will echo the Mute | Solo actions. Because if you manually created another track and put new data on it and it was routed to the same synth it would not do that. Mayhap you've found a bug!
