How would I go about fixing this dumb thing I did?

I recorded a great take, right over the top of a not so great take.

That's fine, I thought it would remove the first take and just leave the second, but no, it kept both of them. If I wanted to separate the two takes is there a way to do that? Remove one lot of notes from on top of another lot of notes? If they were a pile of playing cards, I just wanted to move the top playing card on to a new note track and then delete the old 'underneath card' note track.

In the end I deleted the mess and recorded a third not quite as great take.

But, you know, for future me, would there be a way to salvage the take I was really happy with?

You're talkin bout MIDI right ? Did you try Undo the top take. Or, to begin with, create a separate note lane for new takes. Theres probably an inbuilt way - there is for audio (to do with 'comping' multiple takes)

Nope... Just make a copy of the clip and delete manually so you get two separate clips.

I think there is a way to do this, if you click a button in advance, which I didn't do.

Unfortunately many of the midi notes I wanted to delete were hidden under notes I didn't want to delete. That'll teach me for not checking which track was recording.
