Cut, Copy,
Paste, Insert and Delete
The Copy function CTRL-C
Copy copies your selected area into MIDI Locator's
internal clipboard.
The Paste function CTRL-V
MIDI Locator's internal clipboard can be pasted
at another place with Paste. The new upper left corner
of the data will become the current position of the blinking cursor,
or, if you currently have a selection instead of a blinking cursor,
it will become the upper left corner of your current selection.
In that case, the pasted data is bounded by the selection's width
and hight, additionally.
If you try to copy and paste the first time, please release your
selection after copying by Select none and place your cursor
to the new destination. Otherwise the new upper left corner will
become the upper left corner of the current selection (of your
copy-area defining selection). That means that your data will
be pasted exactly where you have copied it. This would double
every event in your selection.
The Paste function is realised as a mixing paste, that
means that MIDI data which stand under the place where you are
pasting is not removed. The new pasted data is overdupped at this
place. If you want to make free room before a Paste use
MIDI Locator's Insert function :
The Insert function INS
If you want to make free space between measures inside a MIDI
song by moving a complete one half of your MIDI data to the right
: Make a selection which covers your amount of needed measures.
Then call the Insert function.
Workspace with selection
covering some measures across many tracks
Workspace with empty
selection after pressing INS
Insert is reachable by menu's entry Ins(ert)
or the INS key on your PC keyboard.
The Cut function CTRL-X
Cut is freeing your selected area from MIDI events.
The MIDI events which have been removed are filled into MIDI
Locator's internal clipboard which can be pasted at another
place with the Paste function.

Drag & Drop
You can cut and paste a selection's content in a single step by
clicking the mouse button one time after creating the selection.
If you now move the selection and release it at another place,
the old selection's content will be (mix-)pasted at the new place.
