All I really wanted to do is increase the length of a song. I was having trouble doing that, because the "Ending" was interfering with copying desired measures.

I am happy to say, that thanks to all of you, I now know how to complete such a task. It's just a matter of choosing the correct option.

Actually, to avoid this problem in the future, I will not include an "Ending" while recording, instead I will add the Ending as a last step, AFTER all editing, measure copying, etc. is complete.

Thanks everyone for very enlighting and thought provoking responses. Nothing beats learning from experts.
