I think I know the answer to this, but I'm not 100% sure, and the manual is vague.

Linked Repetitions
Checking the Link Repetitions check box causes all the new clips to be linked clips with the clip you copied.
Link to Original Clip(s)
Checking the Link to Original Clip(s) check box creates a linked clip.
Okay, great. I have a MIDI clip. I want to copy it 10 more times along the timeline. I want all 10 copies to be linked to the original clip.
I can choose Linked Repetitions or Link to Original Clip(s) or even both.
Both choices sound like they'll do what I want, so what's the difference?
Linked Repetitions would cause the copies to be "linked with the clip copied." I want that.
Link to Original Clip(s) would create a linked clip. "A" linked clip, singular, as in only one of them would be linked to the original?
What about checking both?
Aha, closer inspection of The Reference Guide says on p. 485:

Linked Repetitions. If you choose this option, only the new copies of the original clip are linked together. Edits you make to the new copies do not affect the original, and vice versa.
Link to Original Clip(s). If you choose this option, the new copies and the original clip are linked together. Edits you make to any of the linked clips, including the original, affect all other linked clips in the group.
So with the first, the original is left out? The description in the online documentation seems wrong.
If these two are exclusive, why can I select both of them?
I'll try the second option first, by itself, and see what happens.
