Midi track - copying data to another track

Getting Stuff Done How do I .... ?

Is selecting all in midi track, copy and paste into a new midi track a valid way to copy data from one track to another?

Or should duplicate track only be used to do that?

I’m in the process of filing a possible bug on the bug tracker and may need to amend it, depending on the answer, before posting.

Thanks

I don’t know the answer to your question, but I also think there are some things not working, when copy-pasting midi-regions. For one the copy often does not show the notes though it plays them, and if you change the boundaries of a copied region, I sometimes had new notes appear that had been erased before (again the playback worked correctly and did not play them, so all the troubles I had were in the graphical interface).

Thanks. in my case notes show correctly on the copied track but on playing the copy some notes are dropped.

I’ve closed the bug.Tried to reproduce the issue with new material but it now works as expected.
