That was really painful ... inserting 6 bars in the middle

Sorry, ran out of room in the Subject.

I have a song that I decided to add a second solo to, so I split it at the end of the first solo and added 6 more bars.

No problem in the DAW, but I couldn't find how to do it in JS3. What I wound up doing was in the original JS song Creating and saving 3 parts: before the Solo, THe Solo, and after the solo.

Then I created a blank JS song, and loaded the parts, including a 2nd "solo" part. But even that process was painful - Loading a part into the new song would sometimes (but not consistently) erase the part right next to it. I had to create blank dummy parts and put them in the song to act as sacrifices to be disappeared when I loaded a new part.

It worked, yayy, but I need a drink!

Can someone tell me the easy way to do this now please?

Thanks!

Thanks, a_zimuth. I guess that means there is no "Copy X bars from there and insert/paste here" command I am missing. That would be nice but I won't put this in the feature request forum until JS4 comes out!

Since I want to duplicate a section of the song, I guess I'd have to 1-by-1 copy the contents of each bar to the empty bars I created? For 6 bars I think your suggestion is the easier one; for anything much longer, maybe using the Save-Load Part commands will be quicker.

I do want to use this thread to point out a possible GUI bug - as I described above, "Load Part" wants to delete parts already in the song.

Thanks again, a_zimuth!

No there isn't but I'm pretty sure I remember Ralph mentioning that he was investigating such a feature.

If you are recording, it really is simpler to transfer the MIDI data into your DAW and edit it there.

Thanks, Robus_1! That gets me thinking - is it more common to do that, i.e., do most of the editing in the DAW than in JS?
