Editing Selection Ranges
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 Move Left and Move Right 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 Move Left/Move Right 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.

Moving and Duplicating Selection Ranges
To move a selection range, click and drag it to a new position.
This will move the contents of the selection range to the new position. If the range
intersected events or parts, these are split before moving, so that only the sections
within the selection range are affected.
To duplicate a selection range, hold down Alt and drag.
You can also use the duplicate, repeat, and fill loop functions that are available for
duplicating events.
