Snap Types
You can select between different snap types to determine the snap point.
To select a snap type, open the Snap Type pop-up menu.
The following snap types are available:
Grid
If this option is activated, the snap points are set with the Grid Type pop-up
menu. The options depend on the display format that are selected for the ruler.
When you select Seconds as ruler format, the Grid Type contains
time-based grid options.
Grid Relative
If this option is activated, events and parts are not magnetic to the grid.
Rather, the grid determines the step size for moving the events. This means
that a moved event keeps its original position relative to the grid.
For example, if an event starts at the position 3.04.01, snap is set to Grid
Relative and the Grid Type pop-up menu is set to Bar, you can move the
event in steps of one bar to the positions 4.04.01, 5.04.01, and so on.
NOTE
This only applies when dragging existing events or parts. When you create
new events or parts this snap type works like Grid.
Events
If this option is activated, the start and end positions of other events and parts
become magnetic. This means that if you drag an event to a position near the
start or end of another event, it is automatically aligned with the start or end
of the other event.
For audio events, the position of the snap point is also magnetic. This includes
marker events on the marker track.
