*This question pertains only to editing midi arrangements
1. How can I simply highlight several measures of my arrangement (all tracks selected), Copy those several measures, then go to the place on the timeline I want to paste them, and paste them keeping the same track orientation I copied? Cakewalk always pastes the measures starting at some random track, which somehow even deletes tracks previous to the point on the timeline I am pasting the new section.
I know that I can do the multiple step process of "paste special", then go in and manually tell Cakewalk to orient the tracks starting at track 1, but is there a way to just have that be the default setting? Is there a way to easily just cut measures, then paste measures without Cakewalk randomly taking my 1st track and starting it down on the seventh track, and taking my 2nd track and pasting down on the 8th track etc?
2: How can I select several measures (of all tracks) then delete them and have all subsequent measures shifted accordingly?
The problem I keep encountering is even when I go through the extra steps of selecting the "delete hole" option, Cakewalk only shifts the tracks that had midi information in the area I selected to delete, but the tracks that had no midi information in the area I selected to delete, do not shift accordingly, and stay where they were, and I wind up just having to use the workaround of deleting the measures I dont want, then selecting all of the subsequent measures all the way to the end of the song, then cutting them, then putting the cursor at the beginning of the deleted section, then pasting.
Is there a more direct way to do this? I don;t recall having this problem with earlier versions of Cakewalk so I am hoping there is a setting that solves this.
