Numeric Entry Shortcuts for Selection
Indicators
Following is a list of relevant keyboard
shortcuts for entering values in the Selec-
tion Indicators:
■ Press the slash key to cycle through the
three Selection Indicators.
■ Use period (.) or the Left/Right Arrow
keys to move through the different time
fields in each Selection Indicator.
■ Use the Up/Down Arrow keys to increase
or decrease the numerical values.
■ Press Plus (+) or Minus (-) along with an
accompanying number to add or subtract
from the current field value.
For example, to add 10 to a current field
value, cycle to the field, press the Plus key,
type “10” and then press Enter.
When using this calculator function with
the Time Scale set to Bars:Beats, it is not
possible to use Minus (-) to subtract from a
value (this allows the possibility of enter-
ing negative bar numbers).
■ Press Escape to exit the Selection Indica-
tors without entering any values.

Making a Selection Across
Multiple Tracks
To perform edits across multiple tracks or
all tracks, you must first select the tracks.
Do this by making selections on tracks that
are grouped (see “Grouping Tracks” on
page 62), by extending selections to other
tracks, or by selecting in a Timebase Ruler
(for all tracks).
To extend a selection to another track:
1 Using the Selector or Grabber, make a se-
lection in the first track.
2 Shift-click in additional tracks with the
Selector. An identical range is selected for
each additional track.
To shorten or extend the selection across
each of the tracks, press Shift while drag-
ging to change the range of the selection.
