Selection Techniques
Whenever you want to perform a function on one or more objects, you first need to
select the objecs. This applies equally to Regions, individual events or Environment
Objects. Selected objects are either displayed in an inverted color scheme, or will flash
(in the Score Editor).
An object selected in one window will also be selected in all other windows that
display that object. Changing the top window doesn’t affect the selection (as long as
you don’t click on the background, which deselects everything. Be sure to click on the
window’s title bar).
Goto Selection Start/End
The Goto Selection Start/ End key command moves the song position line to the
location of the first/most recently selected event in the top window.
Scroll to Selection
The Scroll to Selection key command automatically updates the top window, so that the
first of the currently-selected events is visible.
Selecting Individual Objects
Individual objects may be selected by clicking on them, and deselected by clicking on
the background or by selecting another object.
You can also use the Select next/previous Region/event key commands (default: right/left
arrows, M/I in the Event List). Select first/last selects the first/last object of the currently
displayed level.
Selecting Alphabetically
The Tab key selects the next alphabetical object. In the Arrange or Environment
windows, pressing any letter key selects the first object with a name that begins with
the chosen letter (as in the Mac’s Finder), provided that no key command is assigned to
this key.
Selecting Several Objects
To select several non-contiguous objects, hold down Shift as you click them. As
subsequent objects or events are selected, the previous selections are retained. This
also works with horizontal or rubber band selection.
Use the Toggle Next/Previous Region/Event key commands to select the following/
previous Region/event as well (default: Shift-Right Arrow/Shift-Left Arrow).
Horizontal Selection
To select all Regions on a track, click on the track name in the Track List. In the same
way, you can select all events (of a specified event definition) in the Hyper Editor, by
clicking on the event definition name, or all notes of a certain pitch in the Matrix Editor
by clicking the relevant key on the Matrix Editor’s keyboard.
