lecting the command displays the window; se-
lecting the command again hides the window.

dows in your session, as well as the internal win-
dow configurations of the Edit, Mix, Transport,
MIDI Editor, and Score Editor windows.

tion List, which lets you recall and manage
stored Window Configurations, as well as create
new Window Configurations.

and settings of windows depending on the Win-
dow Configuration’s properties.

output, and send windows) and the Transport
window are not affected by these commands.
Tile Arranges all open windows in a tiled pattern
on the screen.
Tile Horizontal Arranges all open windows in a
horizontally-tiled pattern on the screen. This
option is not available if there are too many win-
dows open.

tically-tiled pattern, side by side, on the screen.
This option is not available if there are too many
windows open.
Cascade Arranges all open windows in a cascad-
ing pattern on the screen.
Hiding All Floating Windows
The Hide All Floating Windows command hides
or shows all floating windows. This command is
useful for clearing the screen quickly so that you
can work in the Edit or Mix windows.
For Window menu items, keyboard short-
cuts with number keys only work using the
numeric keypad on your computer.
