Default Looping midi section without recording loop

Hi!

I've recorded some midi events, and im looping it by draging it like this: https://stash.reaper.fm/oldsb/170848/...r:11,s:0,i:120

But when I start record again, thing that I recorded on 1st "block" becomes in 2nd block too. I want only to loop pair of sounds for couple of minutes, without inaccuracies caused by my shaking hand. Is it way to do it?



ps Sorry for my english

It's a bit confusing, but if you left-click drag the right edge of a MIDI item, it will stretch to create 'ghost' copies of itself, not new items. You can see this by the small triangle on the bottom of the item.

This means that whatever you do to any part of the item will be on all the others too. So to fix this, just drag the right edge back so there are no more 'triangles' at the bottom of the clip.

Ya, but I want have copies.
ex. I have complicated drums section in midi, wich takes me 4 beats, and I want copy this section 20 times in my midi file, without any shifts wich I could make by coping it by hand (select notes + drag right with ctrl in reaper midi editor). Or maybe someone can recommend me other, external midi editor?

You can make independent copies by holding down ctrl and drag/drop.
