Question

I've seen some nice FRs about the Scratch pad, but not one exactly like this, so my suggestion would be to be able to swap a scratch pad (usually the currect one open) with the original main arrangement, so that it becomes the main arrangement.

I notice that I work "forwards". The first idea obviously begins in the main window. Then I have a few friends over and we jam the song, which I record in a scratch pad. The song now is growing, and I want to add bits of the original idea into the second recording. Here's where swapping the scratch pad with the arrangement would really be a nice workflow. Now, I either have to add the scratch pad back into the original take, or create a second scratchpad, drag the original arrangement into it, clearing the arranger window, then go back to the first scratchpad and drag that into the arrange window. Rather cumbersome.

With a simple "swap with arrangement" command, this would keep the easy workflow that SO has.

Long winded, but I hope you see why.

greetings

Would love to see this. As far as I can tell the only way there is to do this currently is to drag and drop, which can be suboptimal with how small open scratch pads appear on a laptop. An easier way of switching the contents of a scratch pad with the Arrange view would be great!
