Performing the Unpacking
1. Select the Group Part (on the Group Track) that is to be Unpacked.
2. Select Unpack Group from the Structure menu.
One of two things happens:
• If the Group was created in the
same Arrange window as it is used, Ghost
Parts are created on the original Tracks at the same Positions as the
Group Part.
• If the Group was created in
another Arrange window, real Parts are cre-
ated at the same Position as the Group Part.
If possible, the Parts are put in on existing Tracks set to the same MIDI Chan-
nel and Output. Otherwise, new Tracks are created as needed.
In both cases, the Group Part is of course removed from the Group Track.
● Unpacking can be undone using the Undo command.
The Group feature can be used to an extreme by packing all different sections of a
song (intro, verse, chorus...) into Groups to get an overall feeling of the structure of
the song. Then you can Unpack all Groups and start making detailed changes.
● If you want to use the Unpack feature for detailed editing this way, make sure
that the Group Parts you Unpack are in another Arrange window than the
Parts that make up the Groups. If not, Unpacking will create Ghost Parts, and
if you make changes to a Ghost Part, they will affect
all Group Parts contain-
ing the original Part.
