how do I copy existing CC7 (or other) MIDI controller data I've added in the Piano Roll and paste it somewhere else?

For anyone following this discussion, I’ve found the problem. Dorico’s MIDI import logic filters out what it considers to be empty tracks (since many real-world MIDI files have tracks with no data that are just used as labels, or are just part of the musician’s new-project template). If there aren’t any notes, then it’s considered to be empty. So in this case, if you just add a single note at the start of the file and then drag it, then the CC values are imported successfully. I might change how drag and drop of MIDI works in cases like this because I think it could be useful.
