114 Chapter 3 Arrange Window
Copying a Track
If you hold down Option when moving a track, a copy of the track is created at the
destination position. All selected Regions on the old track are also moved to the new
track.
Note: If you hold down Option before grabbing the track number, no extra Regions on
the track will be selected. If no Regions were selected in the first place, an empty track
with the same track instrument is created at the destination position.
If the Cycle function is switched on, all Regions in the Cycle area are moved from the
old track to the new track. The musical result is not any different, because the new track
is played by the same track instrument.
Moving Regions onto a Track
The function Region > Move Selected Regions to Current Track moves all selected Regions
from different tracks onto the selected track. The time position of all Regions is
retained.
Special Methods for Creating Tracks…
…for overlapping Regions
The function Track > Create for Overlapped Regions creates new tracks for wholly or
partly overlapping Regions. The Regions are distributed onto these tracks so that no
more overlaps occur.
…for selected Regions
Use the function Track > Create for Selected Regions to create new tracks for all selected
Regions. The Regions then appear on these new tracks. Only one new track is created
for any selected Regions which were previously on the same track.
Deleting Tracks
To delete the selected track, use the Track > Delete function. If there are any Regions on
the track, a warning message appears first.
If there is no Region selected in the Arrange area, you can perform the same function
by pressing Backspace.
A third method is to grab the track as if to reposition it (see above), and remove it from
the Track List by dragging it to the left.
Deleting Unused Tracks
Use the Track > Delete Unused function to delete any tracks that don’t contain any
Regions.
