There is a unintuitive discrepancy between the piano roll and the notation view, when it comes to copy/pasting notes (as also discussed in the thread
Make Selecting Easier In Midi Editor):
- In the piano roll, copy/paste will paste notes into the active track, as expected. (The active track is, after all, defined as the one that is the "target for inserting events", according to the track list's tooltip).
- In the notation view, copied notes are not pasted into the active track, but instead into the *last-clicked* track/staff.
Is this behavior intentional?
