If I copy notes within PRV from one track, then paste them to another track, still in PRV, existing notes on the target track are REPLACED with the pasted notes, rather than blended in. So I went to Preferences to Editing > What to do with existing material: And "Blend Old and New" is selected (like it has been for years, btw, I've never done anything else). For good measure I checked a different option, hit Apply, then selected "Blend..." again, hit Apply and closed Preferences. Same behavior. This makes me EXCEEDINGLY NERVOUS.
So I tried pasting the notes onto the same target track in different places in the project, and sometimes it erased existing material and sometimes it didn't. After experimenting a while I finally went to Track View and took all the takes in that area of the piece and Bounced to Clip. This seemed to fix the problem. But I don't understand why.
I seldom bother with clips, and am constantly applying trimming and bouncing to clip, mostly just to simplify track view. Now I'm worried I'm going to inadvertently erase something because of some misunderstood behavior going on. Can anyone elucidate here?
