Editing Parts and Events
This section describes techniques for editing in the Project window. If not explicitly
stated, all descriptions apply to both events and parts, even though we use the term
“event” for convenience.
When you are using the tools for editing, you can in many cases get additional
functions by pressing modifier keys (e.
g. pressing [Alt]/[Option] and dragging with
the Object Selection tool creates a copy of the dragged event).
NOTE
You can customize the default modifier keys in the Preferences dialog.

Selecting Events
You can select events using any of the following methods:
•Use the Object Selection tool.
•Use the Select submenu on the Edit menu.
• Right-click on a track and select Select All Events from the context menu.
• To select ranges, regardless of the event and track boundaries, use the
Range Selection tool.
• Use the arrow keys on the computer keyboard.
•If the Auto Select Events under Cursor option (File > Preferences >
Editing) is activated, all events on the selected tracks that are touched by the
project cursor are automatically selected.
This is helpful when rearranging your project, because it allows you to select
whole sections on all tracks by selecting all tracks and moving the project
cursor.
