Ableton & Reason

Is there any way to make a beat in Ableton similar as you would in Reason? At this point, I can compile numerous 1 bar drum loops and melodies via clips but I would like to lay things out in a more traditional way.How would I go about doing this and laying it across the screen? Once I have an 8 bar midi loop created, is it possible to copy and paste them across the screen like a traditional sequencer? The only decent midi tutorial video I found is this one (Getting Started 4: Making Music with MIDI-Beats & Melodies - YouTube) and it doesn't really explain how to create a whole song...

What I do when arranging is just drag the clip, hit tab, and drop it in the arrangement view.

If you work in scenes (lines of clips), then you can select the entire scene and drag/drop.

When you have the clips in the arranger ctrl+c, ctrl+v is copy paste and ctrl+d is duplicate.
