Hi Tony
I have no doubt that you know what I'm after,that taking out some of the fluff from inserted measures is best for soloing. I,on the other hand,can't get my Pa4X to insert anything. It will delete,but not insert. I suspect something is wrong with the keyboard,as I have taken all the advice offered. I am wondering about a DAW for a simple copy and paste. Even if I solo'd over a section with only the melody muted,I would have measures to play and break up the vocal. The problem is that I designate the the target measure for the copied date and nothing changes at all.

Thank you for your input. I will soldiar on.
