Also worth noting is you can make duplicate, repeating patterns 'unique' through the right mouse click menu in the sequencer list after selecting these patterns. This way making changes wont affect all duplicate patterns anymore, only the one you're editing in. I used to arrange a lot using duplicate pattern sections in protracker, but when I pimp them now in renoise, first thing I do is selecting all patterns and make them unique.
I agree, it's often too easy (for me at least) to forget that I'm working on an alias and then need to undo, make unique, redo... I find aliases useful when first building up a drop, then working on all unique patterns once the basic structure is formed.
Another cool arranging option is selecting different pattern blocks, for example fine select blocks holding down ctrl (on windows), then when you have made your selection, drag them and hold down ctrl + shift. You'll notice a line appearing in the matrix. For example; drag the selection holding ctrl + shift downwards until you are at the bottom of the existing matrix arrangement and release the mouse press. The selection wil be appended and new pattern blocks will be automagically added to the arrangement.
best tutorial series I watched so far ❤
Very nice, I need to look into the keyboard shortcuts for this.
WOW ... this lesson was very helpful. Learned a lot about the mysteries of the pattern matrix. Thanks!

Yes, I actually meant to show this method and forgot 🙃
I've heard this on Spotify.
