To unlock the SMPTE position of a locked object:

2 Do one of the following:
 In the Event List, Hyper and Piano Roll Editor: Choose Functions > Unlock SMPTE
Position.
 In the Arrange window: Choose Region > Unlock SMPTE Position.

All selected objects that were locked to their SMPTE position are now fixed to their
current bar position, just like normal events. This means they can be shifted by any
future tempo changes. The padlock symbol in front of the name disappears.
Positioning Bars to Frames
If you want a particular bar in the project to coincide with a specific SMPTE time, you
need to alter the tempo of the preceding passage.
The following procedure will save you from having to do this by trial and error:
1 Open the Tempo List (see “Using the Tempo List” on page 673).
2 Create a tempo event at the desired bar position.
3 Set the desired time position for this tempo event in the SMPTE Position column.
The preceding tempo event is automatically adjusted, to generate the correct bar and
time position for the inserted tempo event.
4 You can then delete the tempo event you inserted, if you want to keep the same
tempo for the following passage.
