[Rwp] Copying Multiple Items on Multiple Tracks

[Derek Lane]

Correct.
This is one of those areas where reaper is, in fact, not context 
sensative.  If audio exists which is has pasted audio plopped on it, it 
uses your default item behavior.  If ripple editing is set to all, and 
you have the split, its going to do what its told there as well.
If you are in a situation though where you do have to manualy 
cut/copy/paste you'll need ripple to all on the first track you paste, 
then off for everything else.
Ripple being on initially carves out the spot for everything else to go, 
turning it off lets you place other things in the same spot on there 
respective tracks.
