Adjusting the Size of Selection Ranges
You can adjust the size of a selection range in the following ways:
By dragging its edges.
The pointer takes the shape of a double arrow when you move it over an edge
of the selection range.
By holding down [Shift] and clicking.
The closest selection range edge will be moved to the position at which you
clicked.
By adjusting the selection range start or end position on the info line.
By using the trim buttons on the toolbar.
The left trim buttons move the start of the selection range and the right
buttons move the end. The edges are moved by the amount specified on the
Grid pop-up menu.
NOTE
The trim buttons are located on the Nudge Palette, which is not visible on the
toolbar by default.
By using the Move Left and Move Right buttons on the toolbar.
These move the whole selection range to the left or the right. The amount of
movement depends on the selected display format and the value specified on
the Grid pop-up menu.
IMPORTANT
The contents of the selection are not moved. Using the Move Left/Move
Right buttons is the same as adjusting the start and end of the selection range
at the same time by the same amount.
NOTE
The move buttons are located on the Nudge Palette, which is not visible on
the toolbar by default.
To crop all events or parts that are partially within the selection range, select
Edit > Range > Crop.
Events that are fully inside or outside the selection range are not affected.
