66 Arranging Objects

Right clicking on an object opens the context menu with the most important
editing options available for that specific object.
Select objects
To edit or delete objects using the menus, you must first select them. To do
so, simply click on the object you wish to select. When the "Shift" key is
pressed, multiple objects are selected. Object modifications like cutting,
moving, effects assignment and so on, apply to all selected objects together.
The handles of selected objects light up to show that the accompanying object
has been selected and can be edited using the menu functions.
Several objects can be selected quickly by clicking on the first object in the
first track with the mouse and dragging out a square for selection. All objects
entirely or partially within the square will be selected (rubberband selection).
Mute objects
Each object can be muted individually. To do so, select the objects you wish to
mute and press "F6" (or use the corresponding command from the context
menu).
Build or split object groups
Several objects can be combined to make up a group, to avoid the objects
being unintentionally moved out of relation to each other.
Once they are combined, clicking on one object of a group will select the entire
group.
To group or separate groups, use the buttons in the toolbar or the
corresponding commands in the "edit" menu.
Split objects
Any object can be split up. Every one of these object parts becomes an
independent object in itself. To cut an object, select the object, move the start
marker to the edit point, and select the "Split object" command from the "Edit"
menu or press the "T" key. It’s even easier with the "Split objects (view page
63)" mouse mode.
