Track editing function
This function takes the section of a track or tracks marked 
by the IN and OUT points, copies it, and pastes it at the TO 
point on the chosen track or tracks.
The original source is left unchanged.
The copy operation overwrites anything which is already 
recorded at the destination. The track is the same length as 
it was before the operation.
You can copy the section more than once in one operation.

You can change the following values:
SOURCE.TRK This sets the source track or tracks from 
which the section is copied. Choose 1 through 8 to select 
an individual track. Choose 1/2, 3/4, 5/6 or 7/8 to select a 
pair of tracks. Choose 1-8 to select all tracks.
DESTINATION. TRK This sets the destination track or 
tracks to which the selected section is pasted. What you 
can select here depends on what you have selected for the 
source track. If you have selected a single track, you can 
select tracks 1 through 8 here. If you have selected a pair 
of tracks (for instance, 1/2), you can only select track pairs 
here. If you have selected all tracks (1-8), then 1-8 is the 
only option available to you here.
COPY TIMES This is the number of times that the select-
ed section is pasted into the destination track or tracks. 
You can set this value from 1 to 99.

IN, OUT and TO
We have previously seen how the IN and OUT points can 
be used for punching and for location. They are also used 
in these track editing operations, together with the TO 
point.
The IN point marks the start of the part of the track 
which is selected when editing a part of a track (rather 
than a whole track).
The OUT point marks the end of the part of the track 
which is selected when editing part of a track.
The TO point marks the final destination of a copy or a 
move operation.
