Scratch Pad/ multiple Arrangements in one Song

Yes. The Arranger Track is a great feature for changing the song structure of a arrangement timewise or build up a simple common song structure (with many repetitions) from scratch. But if you are building up a new piece of music with no predefined common song structure (e.g. film music) you do have to do a lot of clicking using the Arranger Track. The ‘scratch pad’ is more like a warehouse for your musical material, which can be shown and used on every position, to build up your song.
Okay, there are workarounds in cubase like copying your arrangement-ideas to different positions on the timeline or save these arrangements as songs and open them beside the “main” song unactivated. But there are many downsides beside the lack of convenience.
Hope that answers your question.
Cheers

Can you maybe create a visualization of what you are talking about? Do you mean a way of indexing all your material and ideas and being able to summon certain parts, insert them, etc?
