I have a number of stings/jingles/stabs on one track in a sessiion that I'd like to use in subsequent sessions in a very similar way, maintaining the separate clips,  keyframes and sequence of clips. I can't see a way to export or copy them to another session. Am i missing something? Thanks.

Copy and paste generally works fine, although the only keyframes you can export are clip-based volume ones. If you just select all of the individual clips on a track and use Ctrl+C, then open your new session, put the cursor where you want it and use Ctrl+V, then all the clips will be inserted at that point, with clip volume keyframes intact. What won't get copied is the track keyframing, but the relative clip positioning and crossfades will be.

Oh blimey, overlooking the obvious! I think maybe subconsiously I thought copy and paste wouldn't work outside of a session. But of course it does. Thanks.
