Copy
Copy works exactly the same way as Cut, except that the audio is not removed to place it on the
clipboard, only copied. Pasting after
copy is the same as after cut.

Erase works exactly the same way as Cut, except that the audio is not placed on the clipboard.
The clipboard remains unchanged, so its previous contents are ready to paste at any time.
