The Project Browser
Window Overview
While the Project window and the editors display events
and other data graphically, the Project Browser window
provides a list based representation of the project. This al-
lows you to view and edit all events on all tracks by using
regular value editing in a list.
Opening the Project Browser
You open the Project Browser by selecting “Browser” from
the Project menu. The Browser window can be open while
you are working in other windows; any changes made in the
Project window or an editor are immediately reflected in the
Project Browser and vice versa.
Navigating in the Browser
You use the Project Browser much like you use the Win-
dows Explorer and Mac OS X Finder for browsing folders
on your hard disk:
• Click on an item in the Project Structure list to select it
for viewing.
The contents of the item are shown in the event display.
In this figure, the parts on a MIDI track are displayed.
• Items with hierarchical substructures can be folded out
by clicking the plus symbols or the “closed folder” symbols
in the Project Structure list.
When the substructure of an item is revealed, a minus symbol or an “open
folder” symbol is shown instead – click this to hide the substructure.
• To reveal or hide all substructures in the Project Struc-
ture list, use the buttons “(+) All” and “(–) All” above the list.
The Project Structure list. This is where
you navigate through the project.
The event display. This is where you view
and edit parts, events and Regions.
The Add pop-up menu and Add button for
creating new parts, events and regions.
The Filter pop-up menu,
used when editing MIDI.
The Time Format (display
format) pop-up menu.
