Actually I can't imagine doing this (move, copy/pase, etc.) unless it was totally intended so I don't know why it would need any special comands. It should work just like normal, right?

You can - in the latter case - drag/drop/move groups of notes between clips at will, even clips that reside on different arrange tracks.

This is what my thinking is, total freedom for cut/paste, copy/paste, move, drag/drop, etc.

There in lies the what I think might be the biggest problem. I have never and probably never will stack items in the arrange but I know may folks do.

But that sort of screws up one of the main advantages of track based editing, because it clutters and confuses the Filter. Being able to just click on tracks is an important part to this. Maybe there could be a switch in the filter box to show just tracks vrs tracks and items.
Okay heh heh, I'm going to call it Track Based Editing because that's kind of become ReaperSpeak to me.
