Dragging/copying

[Artiquarius]

As we all know it is as easy as pie to grab a short few bars of a recording and drag it out so it repeats endlessly. Great!  However the dragged out area is always slightly greyed out and if I try to click on a note then it just trims back to where I clicked with the cursor.  It is as if the copied section is not really a part of the track, just temporary and although it plays O.K. then that's fine as long as it's not touched.  

I have searched everywhere to try and find a way to make the dragged out/ repeated section permanent. As in proper editable notes like the original recorded notes.  However I can find nothing. I can't even think of a snappy search phrase to sum the problem up so I always end up being given advice on overlapping sections or left and right dragging or nudging or snapping and so on but nothing that will tell me how to convert a dragged out section to a real life editable section. Yes I could bounce it down but what I want is to keep the midi notes for editing purposes. Can anyone help.   Many Thanks - BRIAN.

Select the looped region(s) and choose Edit > Convert > Loops to Regions (or press Control-L).

Thanks David, amazing, just what I was searching for. Such a lot to learn in logic but slowly getting there.

Thanks again.
