In COMPOSER, I would like to put a VARIATION together with another VARIATION, making it not only longer but having the freedom to copy measures in different places in the length of the VARIATION. I hope I have made myself clear.

Let me spell it out for you. A style has generally 4 measures and you have 4 variations. In COMPOSER, I want to join any two together to make it an 8 measure variation. I realize that I can change the amount of measures in a variation up to 16 but this won't help in joining two or even up to 4 variations together. The problem I find is that trying to put a variation to another, all one does is replace the variation - you don't add to it, regardless of putting in the extra measures to take care of it. It goes back to the 4 measures you are copying. There should be a way to do this. It would be very beneficial to adding fill-ins to the variation, as well.

I think Alec covered this several years ago. Alec, where are you?! I want to be able to do this.
