Cut Time and Paste time in clip editing?

Post by Unum » Sat Jan 22, 2022 1:52 pm

When editing a midi clip, it looks like commands like Duplicate Time and Delete Time are available but not Cut Time and more importantly Paste Time which are both greyed out.

Am I missing something obvious or is there a reason for these not to be applicable to clips just like they are in timeline editing?

Thanks!

Yep, in clip editing is way more limited that editing in the Arrangement timeline.

Thanks! At least this time it wasn't me being dense...

I wonder if there is any technical or UX reason behind this. It looks like if something like Duplicate Time works there, the other should be able to work too from a UX point of view.
