96 GENERAL FUNCTIONS IN THE PROJECT WINDOW
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 down. If you now click the section with the "Shift" key held down, every
object will be selected which has its middle point within the selection rectangle.
You can also select a range by dragging the mouse across the timeline. It will then be
indicated with a different color. Double clicking on this timeline area selects a range in the
selected track, double clicking again selects the range over all tracks, and double clicking
once more 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 in loop mode. 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. The play cursor can be positioned at the edge of the playback range by
clicking on the range's edge in the timeline. By double clicking on the timeline outside of
the range, you can delete the contents of the play range.
Leaving a range
If you wish to select a different range, click elsewhere in the project that does not include
the current range and drag out a new range.
