About the “Grid” Snap value
The “Grid” value at the top in the list is dynamic and automatically changes the snap value, from “Bar” to “1/128”,
depending on the current horizontal zoom level on the Arrange/Edit pane.
The picture below shows the same clips in the Arrange pane at two different horizontal zoom levels:
About separate Snap values for selected clips and for open clips
There are two different Snap settings, one for when a clip is open for editing in Edit Mode, and one for when no clip
is open (e.g. in Song/Block View). Typically, you would set a fine Snap value (e.g. 1/16) for open clips in Edit Mode
and have the other Snap value set to “Bar” for convenient clip arranging in the Song/Block View. You can also
choose to turn Snap off in either of these modes, independently of the other setting.
• The Snap value for editing is used whenever a note clip or automation clip is open (including when an automa-
tion clip is opened in Arrange Mode).
However, there’s one exception: If a note clip is open in Edit Mode and you click in the Clip Overview (see “Edit
Mode elements”), the clip will remain open but the Snap value for arranging will be selected. This allows you to e.g.
move or resize the clip in the Clip Overview just like in the Song/Blocks View, without closing it first.
