When you use the Edit-Paste command to add information to a track that
contains existing material, there is one final option you can choose.
Note that if you copy or move clips to new, empty tracks, you don’t have to worry
about these settings. In this case, the track properties that go with the clips are
automatically applied to the new track.
When you use drag-and-drop editing:
• You can set the above options every time you perform an edit, or you can set
them once and have the same settings carry over automatically. Check or
uncheck the Ask This Every Time box in the Drag and Drop Options dialog to
indicate your preference. Open the Drag and Drop Options dialog by right-
clicking in the Clips pane and choosing Drag and Drop Options from the
popup menu.
• If you drag to the edge of the Clips pane, it will scroll automatically in the
direction you drag.
• If you change your mind while dragging clips, press the Escape key to cancel
the operation.
SONAR also lets you move and copy clips between projects.

Paste as New Clips New clips are created containing the events
on the clipboard, exactly as described in the
preceding table.

The events on the clipboard are merged
into any existing clips that occupy the same
region of time. This means you will never
end up with clips that overlap.
