Snap Function
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 is selected for the ruler.
If you select Seconds as ruler format, time-based grid options are available.
If you select Bars+Beats as a ruler format, musical grid options are available.
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.
Shuffle
Shuffle is useful when you want to change the order of adjacent events. If you have
two adjacent events and drag the first one to the right, past the second event, the
two events will change places.
