The Project window
• To change the number of rows in which the tools are
arranged on the toolbox, keep the right mouse button
pressed on the toolbox until the mouse pointer changes to
a double arrow, and drag to the bottom or right.
The tools can be arranged in one, two, or three horizontal or vertical
rows.
The status line
The status line is displayed below the toolbar in the Proj-
ect window.
It displays the following information:
Ö Clicking on any of the fields except the Record Time
Max display opens the Project Setup dialog, where you
can adjust the settings (see
“The Project Setup dialog” on
page 54).
• To show or hide the status line, click the “Set up Win-
dow Layout” button on the toolbar and activate or deacti-
vate the Status Line option.
The info line
The info line is displayed below the status line in the Proj-
ect window.
The info line shows information about the currently se-
lected event or part in the Project window. You can edit al-
most all values on the info line using regular value editing.
Length and position values are displayed in the format cur
-
rently selected for the ruler (see “The ruler” on page 44).
• To show or hide the info line, click the “Set up Window
Layout” button on the toolbar and activate or deactivate
the Info Line option.
The following elements can be selected for display and
editing on the info line:
• Audio events
•Audio parts
• MIDI parts
• Video events
•Markers
• Automation curve points
• Transpose events
• Arranger events
When several elements are selected
• If you have selected several elements, the info line shows
information about the first item in the selection. The values
are displayed in color to indicate that several elements are
selected.
• If you edit a value on the info line, the value change is
applied to all selected elements, relatively to the current
values.
If you have selected two audio events, the first being one bar long and the
second two bars, the info line shows the length of the first event (one bar).
If you now change this value to 3 bars in the info line, the other event will be
resized by the same amount – and will thus be 4 bars long.
• To enter absolute values for the selected elements,
press [Ctrl]/[Command] while modifying the value on the
info line. In the example above, both events would be re
-
sized to 3 bars.
[Ctrl]/[Command] is the default modifier key for this – you can change
this in the Preferences dialog (Editing–Tool Modifiers page, in the Info
Line category).

Cubase permits different sample rate settings for a
project and the audio hardware. However, as a result
the audio files in a project will not play back in their
original pitch. If the “Record Format” field is high
-
lighted in a different color, there is a sample rate
mismatch and you should check the settings in the
Project Setup dialog.
