Chapter 3 Customizing Your Window Setup 79
Using Screensets
You will position windows in a way that suits your working methods. This layout of
various windows, including the display size, zoom levels, and position of each window
(and other settings) is called a screenset. Once defined, you can save, and freely switch
between different screensets, much as you might swap between different computer
monitors.
Saving and Recalling Screensets
Screensets are numbered from 1 to 99 (using only the 1 to 9 computer keys—the 0 key
is assigned to the Stop command by default).
You don’t need to save screensets with an explicit command. It happens automatically,
as soon as you switch to another screenset. Thus, without any effort, your current
working view is always stored as the current screenset.
To create a screenset:
1 Press a numerical key, say 7.
For two-digit screensets, hold down Control while entering the first digit.
2 Arrange your windows as desired, including changes to zoom settings, relationship of
the Arrange area and editor areas, open or closed Inspector and Media or Lists areas,
and so on.
Note: When you choose a screenset number that has not been saved, a maximized
Arrange window opens.
To recall, or switch between screensets, do one of the following:
m Input the number of the desired screenset (1 to 9).
For two-digit screensets, hold down Control while entering the first digit.
m Choose the desired screenset from the Screenset menu.
m Use the Next Screenset or Previous Screenset key commands.
Recalling Screensets 1 to 9 via Key Commands
Screensets 1 to 9 can be recalled by freely-defined key commands, not only the
number keys on your computer keyboard. This allows you to use the number keys for
other purposes, such as opening or closing windows. The 1 to 9 key commands are
called Recall Screenset 1 (… 9, respectively) in the Key Commands window.
Sequencer Controlled Screenset Switching
You can automatically switch screensets through the use of meta event # 49—just add
it to a MIDI region in the Event List.
