If you click anywhere on the tempo curve that does not contain a tempo change node, you will see
the tempo curve properties (Fig. 6.2.3). The curve properties provide tools for copying and pasting
tempo changes.
Displace curve: The displace curve control moves the curve upwards or downwards. To dispace the
curve, click and drag on the drag control to the right of the value. As you drag, the value will reect the
current displacement value. Once you have nished dragging, the displacement value will be added (or
subtracted) from the curve. For example, to add 10 BPM to all tempos in the edit, simply drag this value
to +10. Once the mouse button has been released, the value eld will reset to +0.00.
Scale curve: This control allows you to apply a scale factor to all BPMs in the edit. For example, if the
scale value is x 0.50, all BPMs in the edit will be halved.
Only displace/scale the marked region: When this option is selected, the displace and scale controls
will only operate on nodes within the marked region.
Delete points from curve: Clicking this button will display a pop-up menu with the following options:
•
Delete all points from the curve: When this option is selected, all nodes will be deleted.
•
Delete points in the marked region: When this option is selected, any nodes between the in
and out markers will be removed.
•
Delete points in the marked region and close the gap: When this option is selected, any
nodes between the in and out markers will be removed. In addition, the points located after the
out marker will be moved towards in the in marker by a distance equal to the marked range.
Copy marked region to clipboard: The points between the in and out markers will be copied to the
clipboard.
Paste from clipboard: Points that have been previously copied can be pasted into the curve at a dif-
ferent location:
•
Paste at the cursor position: The copied points will be pasted into the curve at the current play-
head cursor location.
•
Paste into the marked area: The copied points will be pasted into the region between the in
and out markers, and will be scaled to t. For example, if the copied region was only two bars
long, but the in out markers specify a region of four bars, the pasted points will simply be scaled
to span four bars.
