Selecting Groups
To select a Group, just click on it in the Arrange View.
This Group is selected.
D If you hold down [Shift] and click, you can select multiple Groups.
You can de-select individual Groups by [Shift]-clicking them again.
D You can also select Groups by clicking and dragging a selection
rectangle, just as with events.
If Snap is on, the selection rectangle will be magnetic to the Snap value po-
sitions. However, note that a Group doesn’t have to be fully enclosed by the
rectangle to be selected - the selection rectangle only needs to intersect or
touch the Group.
✪ Note that it’s possible to select Groups and “loose events” at the
same time with this method. Make sure the selection rectangle en-
closes the elements you want!
D Another way of selecting Groups is to use the arrow keys on the
computer keyboard.
Pressing the right arrow key selects the next Group on the track, pressing
the down arrow key selects the closest Group on the track below, etc. Hold-
ing down [Shift] and using the arrow keys allows you to make multiple selec-
tions.
D If you select a Group and go to the Edit View, all events in the Group
will be selected.
D To de-select the selected Group(s), click anywhere in an empty part
of the Arrange View.
Resizing Groups
When a Group is selected, a handle appears on its right edge. You can click on
this handle and drag to make the Group smaller or larger. The following rules ap-
ply:
D If you drag to the left to make the Group smaller, any events that
end up outside the Group boundary are no longer included in the
Group.
As a consequence, if you drag the handle all the way past the start of the
Group, all events are Ungrouped (see below).
D If you drag to the right to make the Group larger, any events you en-
close will become part of the Group.
D Note: Groups cannot overlap!
This means that if you enlarge a Group so that it partially covers another
Group, this will automatically resize the other Group as well:
The second Group now starts here!
