Default That Bar thingy :)

Hi im new to reason and i find myself copying and pasting alot in the redrum to get the beats set up nicely. The annoying part for me is having to find that bar that moves along the notes as the music plays, and move it to the correct spot because thats where the pasted notes start. Is there like a command that automatically sends the bar to your mouse, where you click i mean. For example holding alt under the arrow selection will change the pointer to a pencil. I want something similar for the bar.
Thanks for your help
Cody

What exactly do you mean with "bar"? The pattern?

You can copy a redrum pattern to a sequencer track (1. select the destination track, select a destination time range by moving the loop start/end locators, 3. right click on the pattern section of redrum and select "copy pattern to track"). After this, you have to turn of the pattern in the redrum and then you can mess around with the generated note clips in the sequencer. You can move the whole clip or go in edit mode and edit single notes.

I'm not sure what you mean by bar either.
You can change the play marker's position (Labled P) by clicking where you want it to be at the top of window (where the L, R and P Markers are) and jump straight to that point.
You can press CTRL and F to toggle between the play marker following the tune and not.
You can use the << and >> buttons to jump to the last or next bar or below them are the position counters that you can alter the numeric values using the up and down arrows next to them.
it's a good idea not to let your notes overrun a bar that you want to copy and paste cos reason will not position the play marker over then end of the last note automaticly.
You can group the notes pressing ctrl and G when they are highlighted (be aware that this will group everything beween the first and last note you highlighted on that channel)
Once you have a group it is easier to cut and paste in the arrange mode view with lots of pretty coloured (I'm english, that's why there's a U in coloured) boxes. In arrange mode you can also highlight whole sections across different channels to copy and paste.

And thats about all I know about copying and pasting in reason. (unless you need me to explain CTRL C,V or X)

Oh one last obvious statement to make, it's wise to have the 'lock to' button on (the one that looks like a magnet) when you are going to copy paste. Set the value next to it to the timeframe you are working in, (e.g. Bar, 1/2 1/4 etc.) and Reason will jump to the next Bar - or whatever you set it at.
