About Cut, Copy & Paste

You can use the commands Cut, Copy and Paste on the Edit menu (or their respective key commands, by default [Ctrl]-[X], [Ctrl]-[C] and [Ctrl]-[V]) to rearrange your Parts within the Arrangement, or to move Parts between different Arrange windows. Cut, Copy and Paste works according to standard principles. However, there are a few things to note:

• The Parts are always Pasted in beginning at the current Song Position. Before Pasting, move the Song Position to where you want the beginning of the first Part. The Song Position is automatically moved when a Cut or Copy is executed. When you Copy, the Song Position is moved to the end of the last of all selected Parts, making this position a suggestion for Pasting. When you Cut, the Song Position is moved to where the first of the Cut Parts started.

• If you Paste into the same Arrange window as the Parts came from, they are put in on the same Tracks as they originally were on.

• If you Paste into another Arrange window, Cubase VST tries to use existing Tracks if possible.
This means that Parts are Pasted in on existing Tracks with the same channel and Output settings, if there are any. If not, new Tracks are created for the Pasted Parts.

New Tracks are also created if Pasting would result in overlapping Parts, i.e. if there already are Parts on the existing Tracks, at the position you Paste.

• If you hold down [Alt] and select Paste from the Edit menu, all the subsequent Parts in the Arrangement will be moved forward to “make room” for the Parts you Paste. Note that the inserted Parts will end up on the same Tracks they have been Copied from.
