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.
Editing Folder Parts
Any editing that you perform in the Project window to a folder part affects all the
events and parts it contains.
You can select several folder parts and edit them at the same time. The editing you
can perform includes:
• Moving a folder part.
This moves 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 Cut tool.
• Gluing folder parts together with the Glue 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 performing 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.
• To open the editor for the track classes that are present in a folder part,
double-click the folder part.
All MIDI parts that are 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 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.
If the folder contains tracks with audio events and/or audio parts, the Sample
and/or Audio Part Editors are opened with each audio event and audio part in
a separate window.
