Folder tracks
• Resizing a folder part resizes the contained events and parts
according to the selected resizing method. This is set by click-
ing the Arrow tool icon on the toolbar and selecting “Normal
Sizing”, “Sizing Moves Contents” or “Sizing Applies Time
Stretch” from the pop-up menu – see “Resizing events” on
page 49. Note that if you select “Sizing Applies Time Stretch”,
any automation data is not taken into account.
• Muting a folder part. This will mute its contained events and
parts.
An example
Editing tracks within folder parts
Tracks inside a folder can be edited as one entity by per-
forming the editing directly on the folder part containing
the tracks as explained above. You can also edit individual
tracks within the folder by showing the contained tracks,
selecting parts and opening editors as usual.
Double-clicking a folder part opens the editors for the cor-
responding track classes present in the folder. The follow-
ing applies:
• All MIDI parts located on the tracks within the folder are
displayed as if they were on the same track, just like when
opening the Key Editor with several MIDI parts selected.
To be able to easily discern the different tracks in the editor, give each
track a different color in the Project window and use the “Part Colors”
option in the editor (see “Coloring notes and events” on page 343).
• If the folder contains tracks with audio events and/or au-
dio parts, the Sample and/or Audio Part Editors are opened
with each audio event and audio part in a separate window.
Splitting the folder part
with the Scissors tool…
…will split all contained parts or
events present at that position.
