Chapter 13 Creating Your Arrangement 317
To assign the same name to multiple regions:
1 Select a group of regions (rubber-band or Shift-click) with the Pointer tool.
2 Do one of the following:
 Select the Text tool, then click any of the selected regions with the Text tool.
 Click the top line of the Region Parameter box (displaying x selected: x indicates the
number of selected regions).
A text input box will appear.
3 Type in the desired name and press Return, or click another region or the Arrange area
background to exit the text input box.
All regions are assigned the same name.
To assign a name with incrementing numbers to multiple regions:
m Follow the steps outlined above, but end the name with a number.
As an example, bassline 1. All selected regions are assigned the same name, but are
incrementally numbered (bassline 1, bassline 2, bassline 3, and so on).
Region numbering follows the temporal (time) positions of regions within the project,
so renaming the region on bar 8 as bassline 1 (when seven regions are selected in the
preceding bars) will still result in each region being numbered sequentially from bar 1
through to 8 as bassline 1, bassline 2, and so on.
If you want all regions to end with the same number:
m Perform the same steps, but press Space after the number.
This is useful for identifying takes made on a particular date, for example—bassline
030806.
You can name regions after the track on which they are placed.
To assign regions the name of their parent track:
1 Select the track name in the track list.
All regions on the track are automatically selected.
2 Choose Region > Track Names to Regions (or use the Track Names to Region key
command, default: Shift-Option-N) in the Arrange area.
The track name is assigned to all selected regions.
