[Rwp] understanding Reaper's take system?

[Snowman]

Interesting process,  taking the best of a series of takes, and making a new 
take, using the best of the takes.

Can you do this by making a new track?  Select a take, use time selection to 
identify the part you want, copy that, and paste it on to the new track. 
Now, go back to that source item, and choose a better take for the next 
passage.  make a time selection with that new take selected, and copy that 
over to the new track as well.  Does this work?
