The Project Browser (Cubase only)
Window Overview
The Project Browser window provides a list based repre-
sentation of the project. This allows 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.
• Items with hierarchical substructures can be folded out
by clicking the “+” symbols or the “closed folder” symbols
in the Project Structure list.
When the substructure of an item is revealed, a “-” 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 actual editing is done in the event display, using
regular value editing techniques.
There is one exception: You can rename items in the Project Structure
list by clicking on their names and typing.
Customizing the view
You can drag the divider between the Project Structure
list and the event display. Furthermore, the event display
can be customized in the following ways:
• You can change the order of the columns by dragging
the column headings to the left or right.
• You can resize columns by dragging the dividers be-
tween the column headings.
• To select a display format for all position and length
values, use the Time Format pop-up menu.
