But if you're copying a measure with, say, a quarter note and no rests in layer 2, you can end up with all your subsequent layer 2 shifted to the left by some arbitrary amount. This happened to me a few days ago, and it was an absolute disaster to unravel. So, I don't do much of any copying and pasting between files -- it's way too unreliable. -- David W.
