Command-clicking multiple track headers selects those tracks
Additionally, there are times when clicking or dragging on one or more clips with the pointer
results in both those clips being selected, along with the tracks on which they sit. For example,
selecting clips using the Edit Selection mode will also select the tracks those clips are on.
TIP: Selecting tracks in the Fairlight page is analogous to using the Auto Select
controls in the Edit page Timeline, which define which clips on which tracks will be
automatically selected whenever you set In and Out points in the Timeline.
If you’re manually selecting tracks using the pointer, there are different ways to do so.
Methods of selecting and deselecting tracks in the Fairlight page Timeline:
To select a single track: Click anywhere in the background or on the track number of
that track’s header (not on a button). In Range Selection mode you can also click in any
unused area of the track itself.
To deselect a single track: Click anywhere in the background or on the track number
of a previously selected track’s header (not on a button). In Range Selection mode
you can also click in any unused area of the track itself. If multiple tracks are selected,
Command-clicking one will remove just that track from the selection.
To select multiple tracks: Command-click in the track header background of every
track you want to select. In Range Selection mode you can also Command-click in any
unused area of the tracks themselves. Command-clicking an already selected track will
deselect it.
To select multiple continuous tracks: Click anywhere in the background or on the
track number of a track header, and then drag a bounding box up or down over all
other tracks you want to select. In Range Selection mode you can also drag a bounding
box over any part of the tracks themselves, while also defining a range in which you
want to work.
To move the selection to higher or lower tracks: Press Control-Option-Up Arrow or
Down Arrow to move the selection state to the next track higher (Control-Option-Up
Arrow) or lower (Control-Option-Down Arrow). If multiple tracks are selected, then
the multi-selection will be moved as a block; for example, selecting tracks A2 and
A3 and then pressing Control-Option-Down Arrow will result in tracks A3 and A4
being selected.
