Ranges
Ranges are selected sections of the arrangement that can be set for
editing or re-opening later on. When creating ranges, you are not
bound to object borders, individual tracks, or any other limitations like
markers. Ranges that you search for are displayed inverted. By
switching on the "Grid" function in the Project options (see page 503)
you can set the step size of the selection.
Selecting a range
To select a range, move the mouse pointer to the top half of an
object and press the left mouse button. Move the mouse pointer
within the object while pressing the mouse button. Now you can see
an inverted rectangle between the starting point and the current
mouse position. Once you let go of the mouse button, the range is
selected. The play cursor always automatically remains at the
beginning of the range, even if you can't see it at this moment in
time. To expand the range onto other tracks, click on the top half of
the selected object again and drag the mouse down vertically while
keeping the mouse button held.
You can also select a range by dragging the mouse across the
timeline. It will then be displayed in green. Double clicking on this
timeline area selects a range in the selected track, a further double
click selects the range over all tracks, the next double click then
reverts back to the simple timeline selection. In the timeline selection
you can also position the play cursor outside the range. The range
will remain intact. This way you can start playback in front of or within
a loop. Range borders can also be changed during playback. The
play range can be deleted by dragging to size 0.
