Hi, need some help with a function
I do a lot of copy paste with the range selection tool
When i copy a part of a midi recording with the range tool, all the other midi information outside the selected range is copied with it.
Sometimes i need that midi, but most of the time i don’t. So i manually stretch out the container, cut and delete the unneeded midi data.
That’s too much clicks for my taste, i’m sure there is a shortcut or a simplier way to do this, anyone can help?
I too wish there were an option to copy/paste only within the range boundaries.
Another workaround (but I haven’t counted the number of clicks 
) is to glue the pasted Part to its neighbor, then split it again (doing so does indeed delete everything outside the range).
I think that forum member Bo Clausen (a genius with macros ) may have posted a macro somewhere, to deal with this situation, but I can’t find it right now (probably in the old forum?)
…(o.k. pretty happy with myself 
, but I’m sure Bo can improve on this)…
-
Create a simple Logical Editor Preset (let’s call it “Select Inside Cycle”)…
Type Is___ All Types___and
Position___Inside Cycle
Function=“Select” -
In the Key Commands dialog, create the following macro (let’s call it “Crop Range”)…
Transport - Locators to Selection
Edit - Open Key Editor
Process Logical Preset - Select Inside Cycle
Edit - Invert Selection
Edit - Delete
Edit - Open/Close Editor
wow that’s awesome!!! and i thought i was good at creating macros, this is inventive! where do i give you steinberg user points for the help? hehehe
It only got a bit complicated because the Logical Editor doesn’t have a filter function for “Outside Cycle”
Otherwise, the macro is definitely inspired by other macros that I’ve seen posted by Bo
