Locking Events
If you want to make sure that you do not edit or move an event by accident, you can
lock it.
Locking can affect one or any combination of the following properties:
To specify which of these properties are affected by the Lock function, use
the Lock Event Attributes pop-up menu (File > Preferences > Editing).
To lock events, select them and select Edit > Lock.
The events will be locked according to the options specified in the
Preferences dialog.
The padlock symbol indicates that one or more of the lock options are activated for
the event.
To adjust the lock options for a locked event, select the locked event and
select Edit > Lock.
This opens a dialog in which you can activate or deactivate the desired lock
options.
To unlock an event (turn off all lock options), select the event and select Edit
> Unlock.
To lock a whole track, click the padlock symbol in the track list or in the
Inspector.
This disables all editing of all events on the track.
