Shifting notes do all associated events move with them

Hi,
If I shift several measures leftwards in a piece (into empty measures space there ready for the notes), do all the events associated with those moved notes move with them?

I'm doing this on a piece just now, but when in the new position they seems to sound differnt (quieter for one thing). Also the sustain pedal (input in real time from keyboard) does not seem "aligned" to the sound they had before the move.

btw I had previously made space for these measure by deleting the contents that were there. Does the very first bar in a piece perhaps contain some special composition-wide data that's been lost?

thanks

Hi Sherry,
As usual, excellent support. I appreciated it.
Your answer explains exactly the effects I was getting and I now can see to do what I want with this aspect on NC.

In fact I see we can have the best of both worlds in this regard as we can just copy the notes+velocities or both notes and all related events with them.

I wonder if there is a case for treating the sustain pedal as we would a note velocity? Simply becuase any note that replaces it is unlikely to require the same sustain... mmm having said that I'm not sure :-) This is kind of leading to an intelli-copying dialog feature (tick which events to copy?).

Anyway, your reply has allowed me to plough on with my composition. Thanks again
