8 Global Tracks

Global Tracks provide a perfect way to view and edit

global events, such as Tempo, which affect all tracks in

the arrangement.

Global tracks can be displayed in the following windows, just below the Bar Ruler:

• Arrange window

• Matrix Editor

• Score Editor (in linear view)

• Hyper Editor

There are several types of Global tracks:

• Marker track: contains markers, which are used to label bar positions and parts of the

song. Their length, text, and color can be edited freely (for details on markers see

“Markers” on page 157).

• Tempo track: contains all tempo changes of a song.
