Hi,
The copy functions in QWS, like many of the Tools, have a minimum resolution of
one beat. So, if you want to copy three-and-a-half beats, you would have to
copy four. But if it is of course possible to copy only three and a half, but
you'll need a little manual work and a little looking at the problem sideways!
There are all kinds of ways to go about it, so here are a couple of ideas:
Method 1:
Create an empty, spare track. Then, from your source material, select four
beats and copy. Then paste into your spare track and delete (using an editor)
any material you don't want. Then select the four beats on the spare track and
copy again. Finally, paste where you wantit and delete the spare track.
Method 2:
Use the Time expand tool and stretch your source track by 200%. Thus now you
have someting to copy that lasts 7 beats. Copy and paste in the usual way. Then
apply a shrink of 50% to get back to the original size. Use the Time Expand
tool for this.
You also mentioned wanting to paste half way into a beat. Again, you cannot
directly do this, so copy to a beat and then use the Time Glide tool to move
either back or forward by half a beat.
Hope some of these suggestions will be useful.
With best regards,
James.

Subject : QWS List Precise cut and paste operations
Hi. I’ve tried out QWS and do have a puzzle. Suppose I start a
sequence on the first bar, and on the 3-and-a-halfth beat of that particular
bar, then I need to copy that exact same sequence of notes which has to be
repeated exactly on the 3-and-a-halfth beat ofth the third bar, how do I go
about doing this? I’ve referred to the help manual but with no luck so
far. I’d be grateful if the steps could be explained to me.
Cheers!
