3. On the Project window toolbar, make sure that Snap is activated and that the
Snap Type is set to a mode that allows your arranger events to snap to
appropriate positions in the project.
Snap to events is activated, i. e. when drawing in the Project window, new events will
snap to existing events.
4. On the arranger track, use the Draw tool to draw an event of the desired
length.
An arranger event is added, called “A” by default. Any following events will be named
in alphabetical order.
You can rename an arranger event by selecting it and changing its name in the Project
window info line or by holding down [Alt]/[Option], double-clicking on the name in the
arranger chain (see below) and entering a new name.
You may want to name your arranger events according to the structure of your project,
e.
g. Verse, Chorus, etc.
5. Create as many events as you need for your project.
When arranger events have been created, the music sequence is determined by the
arranger events.
Events can be moved, resized and deleted using the standard techniques. Please
note:
• If you want to change the length of an event, select the Object Selection tool
and click and drag the lower corners of the event in the desired direction.
• If you copy an arranger event (by [Alt]/[Option]-dragging or by using
copy/paste), a new event will be created with the same name as the original.
However, this new event will be totally independent from the original event.
• Double-clicking on an arranger event adds it to the current arranger chain.
