Description

Hello dear friends.

I'm very grateful you for that I can use such good DAW without copyright infringement or paying big money for this.

As very often I need to copy some highlighted area from one beat to the next one,
so I suggest to add such button, that will:
1. copy and paste notes from current beat to the next one (current - beat, in which the last touched (created, or just clicked) note is. (if no notes are highlighted);
2. copy and paste highlighted notes from current beat\beats to the next ones (if some notes are highlighted).

The button will appear in the last pattern, in which:
1. highlighted notes are present (if some notes are highlighted);
2. the last touched note is present (if no notes are highlighted).

Example:
![button](https://cloud.githubusercontent.com/assets/12682937/18232414/c2e164a6-72d7-11e6-89e6-25afbee99322.png)
![button_2](https://cloud.githubusercontent.com/assets/12682937/18232413/c2dfd7c6-72d7-11e6-8f9c-7e906c184100.png)

Best regards,
Vladislav.
