Paste dialog

The Edit > Paste Special command opens the Paste dialog box, which lets you put the contents of

the clipboard into any appropriate place in your project. To put data on the clipboard, see “Cut

dialog” on page 1491, “Copy dialog” on page 1488.

The Paste dialog box has the following fields:

Starting at Time

Fill in the “Now time” on page 1811 where you want the beginning of the pasted data to go.

Destination

Select either a track or bus where you want the selection pasted.

Repetitions

Fill in how many copies of the pasted data you want to paste into the track end to end.

Starting at Track

Fill in the number of the track where you want SONAR to begin pasting the data.

Paste to One Track

This option is greyed out unless you copy data from more than one track at a time. Checking this

check box causes SONAR to paste multiple tracks’ data into a single track.

Linked Repetitions

Checking the Link Repetitions check box causes all the new clips to be linked clips with the clip you

copied.

Link to Original Clip(s)

Checking the Link to Original Clip(s) check box creates a linked clip.

Advanced button

Clicking this button expands the Paste dialog box to include the following fields:

Align to Measures

This option is greyed out unless you choose at least two repetitions in the Repetitions field.

Choosing this option tells SONAR to slide the old data up to the next measure line, regardless of

whether the new data fills the space up to the next measure.

Filling in the Interval value field with a certain number of measures causes SONAR to paste each

repetition of the new data at the interval in this field. Usually, you choose an interval at least as long

as the object you copied.
