what exactly do these two mean?

previously on qtractor, each clip had a complete independent data
object (buffer) from each other. now the clip data buffer is shared
for all clips in a track that refer to the same filename, offset and
length.
for audio clips this can be a huge resource optimization. for midi
clips it also means that editing or changing events on one of the
"linked" clips will also affect all the others that refer to the
same
midi sequence (ie. same midi file, channel, offset and length, of
course).
in practice, it means that all copy&paste-repeated clips will refer
to very same internal data buffer/sequence. you change one, you'll
change all. got that?
Nice nice and useful too but then again.... what if I copy/paste a
drum-clip and want to add a crash-hit to it whithout having that
crash
on every clip the copy has derived from? Is there some option such as
"right-klick/make new individual clip from copy"?
