The Project Logical Editor
Searching for elements of certain lengths
1. Select Length in the Filter Target pop-up menu.
This allows you to find elements of a certain length only. The Length pa-
rameter is interpreted via the time base setting of the tracks, i.e. in ticks
(musical) or ms (time), except for audio parts or events: these are always
measured in samples.
2. Open the pop-up menu in the Condition column and
select the desired condition.
For lengths, the following options are available:
If you select any condition other than the Range options,
you set up a specific position in the Parameter 1 column.
Here, the Project Logical Editor will find all audio parts and events in
the project with a length smaller than 200 samples.
Searching for properties
1. Select Property on the Filter Target pop-up menu.
2. Open the pop-up menu in the Condition column and
select the desired condition.
When the Property option is selected, the Condition column has two op-
tions: “Property is set” and “Property is not set”.
3. Open the pop-up menu in the Parameter 1 column
and select the desired option.
This sets which property will be searched. The options are “Event is
muted” and “Event is selected”.
Ö Note that “event” in this context refers to all the Project
window elements that can be modified, e.g. MIDI parts,
Audio events and parts, Transpose parts, Arranger parts,
automation events.
Two examples:
Here, the Project Logical Editor will find all muted MIDI and Instrument
parts.
Here, the Project Logical Editor will find all elements that are selected
but not muted.
