How to only copy and paste automation within the same track

[ThexEmperorx]

I usually put in all the notes using the piano roll, then go back and put in the pitch-bend automation. But when I highlight a certain section of the automation lane so I can copy it, it also highlights the corresponding MIDI region, even if my mouse only goes over the automation lane and not the MIDI region. I used to be able to only highlight/select the automation without highlighting the MIDI, but now I can't. Is there still a way to only copy and paste the automation within the track, without also copying the MIDI notes?

Also a second question about automation lanes. Is there a way to make all my nodes snap kind of like how the MIDI notes snap to the nearest ___ ticks? The pitch bend automation goes from 1 octave lower to 1 octave higher, and since the values are from 0 to 100, 1 semitone is equal to 50/12 or 4.166666. So can I make all the nodes automatically snap to the nearest multiple of 50/12? That'll make things a lot easier.

I can't repro that, and can't think what might cause it. Are you drag-selecting with the Smart or Select tool or lassoing with right- click, and does it make a difference?

No, unfortunately there is no vertical level snapping option for automation nodes. The only workaround I can think of is to put nodes with all the needed values in a dummy track, and copy/paste them.

The smart and select tool don't make a difference. Also, idk where the lasso tool is.

Right-click and drag a rectangle  around nodes with the Smart or Select tool. With clips, anything you touch with the laso will become entirely selected, but in an automation lane only the nodes inside the lasso will be selected.
