highlight the part you want to copy - click CTRL + K
then double click the 'number of copies' box, and to create say a noice 16 bar section from a 1 bar loop, type '15' - hey presto!
ghost copies just means they are releated to the original, and thus if you change the original the copies also change.

if you want to make multiple copies of a part up to a certain point in the song, but you don't know how many copies to make, you can just use the pencil tool....
click-and-hold on a part with the pencil tool near the top of the part (just like do when you want to LENGTHEN the part) and hold down ALT at the same time.... now, keep the ALT and mouse button down and drag far far to the right to the point where you want the repeats to stop...
when you let go of the button - PRESTO! that part is repeated as many times as will fit into the area you selected....
hold down CTRL to get ghost b parts.....
peace

alright...
say you have a part that is 16 bars long
starting at bar 1. hold down [Alt] and cut the
part at bar 2 with the scissors tool. the part will
be split up into equal parts, depending on
where you cut it. also works with audio parts.
kewl.

got another one...
quick way to move notes in the edit window or
parts in the arrange window without using the
mouse.
not sure what it is for PC (control maybe?), but
for mac users:
[Command] + Left/Right arrow button moves
all selected notes one snap value to the
right/left
[Command] + Up/Down arrow transposes all
selected notes one semitone up/down
[Command] + [Shift] + Up/Down arrow
transposes all selected notes one octave
up/down
pretty fast way of editing
