[Rwp] Copying Multiple Items on Multiple Tracks

[Chris Belle]

Yeh, that sounds right except why do you need to shift s again for the 
destination?
Oh I guess that makes sure you have a clean edge to line up against when 
you put your items there.
And yes, turning on ripple editing definitely.
I also have found that clearing your time selection when you paste makes 
a difference some times but haven't figured out exactly when.
or why.
Perhaps a timed selection copy alone would work
if you do a split at the destination.
Because I got it to work once,
but ripple editing won't work with only timed selections if you don't 
have items split.
