To be able to copy and paste patterns in the music section #1111

Creating music can be overly time consuming, especially when making longer tracks that have repeated sequences. This is because of the need to place each note individually.

The ability to select notes and copy and paste them, or to copy and paste patterns would make creating tracks so much quicker and more efficient.

For example, where a drum beat or bass line continues throughout the song, it would be so much easier to copy and paste a pattern several times then work on the other instruments.

This is especially the case when applying effects to the notes, as this needs to be done one by one in the tracker view.

I think this can be closed as it is possible to copy and paste patterns now, selecting them with shift and click or shift and drag to create a selection box, then ctrl+c to copy and ctrl+v to paste.
