Copying region to another track

What is the best way to copy a region to another track? I know I can copy/paste, but I’m having trouble realizing how to get it at the proper place, which could be in-between other selections in that track

Here is what I’m trying to accomplish. I am opening songs from iTunes and analyzing them. I might find something in the song I want to collect as an idea, so I want to select it, then copy it into another track. This other track is actually a compilation of all the ideas I’m collecting, so it includes lots of different clips.

If there is another way to do this, please let me know.

Thank you,

Copy/paste is probably the easiest.

From what you say it sounds like you’re having trouble pasting between clips. Make sure that “Editing a clip can move other clips” is checked in Tracks Preferences.

See these manual pages:
