Partial Measures
Aligning Beat 1 to a SMPTE Location
When scoring to film or video, you will often
need to start a section of music at a precise
SMPTE time code location. Since this location
will usually not fall cleanly at the beginning of a
measure, you can insert a meter event at the
time code location where the music needs to
start.
As necessary, Pro Tools will create a partial mea-
sure to accommodate the inserted meter event.
When a meter event is preceded by a partial
measure, the meter event is displayed in italics
in the Meter Ruler.
Partial measures can also occur when pasting
meter events to locations other than beat one.
Renumbering Bars
You can use the Renumber Bars command to re-
number all bars in the session, effectively
changing the bar locations for all regions, meter
and tempo events while leaving their position
intact. In doing so, however, the SMPTE and
sample locations of the session data are not
changed.
To renumber bars:
1 Choose MIDI > Renumber Bars.
2 Specify the bar you want to renumber, along
with the new bar number, then click Renumber.
