Working with folder parts
A folder part is a graphic representation of events and
parts on the tracks in the folder. Folder parts indicate the
position and length of the events and parts, as well as on
which track they are (their vertical position). If part colors
are used, these are also shown in the folder part.
Any Project window editing you perform to a folder part
affects all the events and parts it contains. You can select
several folder parts if you like – this allows you to handle
and edit them together. The editing you can perform in
-
cludes:
• Moving a folder part. This will move its contained events and
parts (possibly resulting in other folder parts, depending on
how the parts overlap).
• Using cut, copy and paste.
• Deleting a folder part. This will delete its contained events and
parts.
• Splitting a folder part with the Scissors tool.
• Gluing folder parts together with the Glue tube tool. This will
only work if the adjacent folder parts contain events or parts
on the same track.
• Resizing a folder part resizes the contained events and parts
according to the selected resizing method.
• Muting a folder part. This will mute its contained events and
parts.
Tracks inside a folder can be edited as one entity by per-
forming the editing directly on the folder part containing
the tracks. 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 259).
• 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.
