With clone-indirect-buffer you'll get a twin copy of your original buffer. You are in effect editing the same buffer in two different , with some additional niceties like having separate modes and narrow-to-region, etc (see an example usage at http://demonastery.org/2013/04/emacs-narrow-to-region-indirect/). I don't see how this can help with your problem, though.
