Copying something with the thing under it

Formulated a bit odd, but I mean: how can I copy something “in total”, e.g. a slash region with basslines or drumgrooves invisibly under it. Now I delete the slash region, copy the notes, and remake the slash region. Is there a way to avoid that?

Use the system track.

Can I do that when I only want one staff?

You could do it in the part, perhaps.

I see. I think using the system track (very often advised here) is not how my brain works. I’ll give it another try… working in the part could be a useful workaround for this problem. Thanks!
