    Don’t know if i missed it in the guide or what but how do I do the following:

    a) copy and paste things without cloning? I never ever use the clone feature so I’m forever uncloning sequences…

    b) protect midi tracks I have imported… for instance I import a piece of midi into podium that I want to use in several different tracks, but I wish to alter them.. I find that if i drag it in an arrangement and alter it it also alters the original i have imported, which is a bummer because it means i have to reimport the original (I use a lot of drumloops)

    Thanks in advance for the help. Sorry if I’m being stupid/ignorant 😳 .

    a) copy and paste things without cloning?

    There is no shortcut for it. You’ll have to do the paste, and then select the ‘clone phantom sequence’ menu. Are you using the ctrl+c/v key shortcuts or the menus? I could implement a new ‘paste unique’ menu below the current ‘paste’ menu.

    b) protect midi tracks I have imported

    Do you import the midi as an arrangement or by dragging it onto tracks? I’ve been meaning to implement display of a new symbol on the sequence events, next to the current + symbol (indicating phantom events). This new symbol would show up if the sequence is placed somewhere in the project outside the arrangement. This would enable a new menu that allows you to make a local copy in the current arrangement, leaving the original intact. Maybe this would help in your situation.

    Actually, to mimic the Windows desktop behaviour, I should change the current ctrl+drop behaviour to shift+ctrl+drop to create phantom copies (which creates linked references in Windows), and then make ctrl+drop to create unique duplicates (as in copying files in Windows). I’ll think about this.

    Both, if I am using beatsliced files then I drag the midi from a folder window straight onto podium and then into the track. Other times I import midi files I have exported from guitar pro as arrangements and then drag/drop the bit that I need.

    This would enable a new menu that allows you to make a local copy in the current arrangement, leaving the original intact. Maybe this would help in your situation

    Yep that is exactly what I need, it would help me keep things organised a lot easier 🙂 .

    Oops when I said copy and paste I actually meant drag and drop. Yeah ctrl+drop for uniques would be great.
