It allows you to effectively copy one section of your composition to another section, without having to actually copy it or to ever edit it, as long as you want it to remain exactly as the original section it mirrors is.

So if you have an ABBA work (that is as in sections, not as in the Swedish band currently featured in Mama Mia), you can enter the first A and B sections, and then mirror them to the second B and A sections. Any edits you make in the "real" A and B sections are automatically placed in the mirrored sections simultaneously.

If you ever want to change the second iterations, though, you need to break the mirror connections, which then places actual copies of the original sections in the formerly-mirrored sections so you can then do separate edits for them.

It makes life simpler if sections are repeated exactly later on in a work.

Wearing my flameproof suit, I ask- please what is mirror tool used for? All
info on usage is just that- info "on usage". Obviously lots of folk use it-
so it must be useful! But what- (cringe, duck, whimper) does it do?
