Chapter 3 Arrange Window 109
Moving Regions
Regions may be moved by grabbing and dragging them with the mouse pointer. You
can move Regions along the timeline and from one track to another. You can also move
them between two Arrange windows.
Note: If Hyper Draw is enabled for the Region, you’ll need to grab above the blue area
in order to move it.
Tying Regions by Length Change
The Region > Tie Regions by Length Change option lengthens the selected Region(s),
making them end exactly at the startpoint of the next Region on the track.
Tie Regions within Locators
Region > Tie Regions within Locators makes all selected Regions within the Locators
longer, closing the gaps between them. The last Region on each track (within the
locator boundaries) won’t be affected.
Editing the Start Position Numerically
You can edit the start point of a MIDI Region (and its length) numerically. This can be
done from an Event List set to view objects at the same level (see “… on Arrange Level”
on page 304) as the Arrange window or in a floating event window (see “Event Float
Window” on page 310).
Copying Regions
To copy Regions to another point in the song, or to other tracks, hold down Option
while moving the Region.
Note: Holding Option-Shift while moving a MIDI Region allows you to create an Alias
(see “Aliases” on page 124) of it.
If Hyper Draw is enabled for the Region, you’ll need to grab above the blue area in
order to copy it.
Note: Copy/paste and Option-drag create a independent copy of the Region. This copy
will not reflect changes made in the original Region. If you want this type of behavior,
make use of the Loop parameter.
Making Multiple Copies of Regions
The Region > Repeat Regions menu allows you to repeat one or more selected Regions.
The repetition always starts at the end of the Region itself, or at the end of the last
(along the time line) Region.
Number of Copies
This is where you enter the number of copies (excluding the original).
