Reference Manual

77 Arrangement View
The loop brace can be selected with the mouse and manipulated with commands from the com-
puter keyboard:
• the right and left arrow keys nudge the loop brace to the left/right by the current grid set-
ting (page 82).
• the up and down arrow keys shift the loop brace left/right in steps the size of its length.
•The [CTRL](PC) / [CMD](Mac) modifier used with the arrow left and right keys shortens or
lengthens the loop by the current grid setting.
•The [CTRL](PC) / [CMD](Mac) modifier with the arrow up and down keys doubles or
halves the loop length.
You can also drag the Arrangement’s loop brace: Dragging the left and right ends sets the loop
start and end points; dragging between the ends moves the loop without changing its length.
The loop’s [right-click](PC) / [CTRL-click](Mac) context menu’s Set Song Start Time Here com-
mand can be used to overrule the default “play starts at selection“ rule: when this command is
checked, play starts at the loop start.
6.6 Moving and Resizing Clips
A piece of audio or MIDI is represented in the Arrangement View by a clip sitting at some song
position in one of Live’s tracks.
Moving a Clip.
