320 Chapter 13 Creating Your Arrangement
When you copy an audio region, a new region is automatically created in the Audio Bin.
The new region will retain the name of the original, with a sequential number added.
As an example, kickingloop.1 will be the name of a region copy, if the original region is
called kickingloop. A second copy will be named kickingloop.2, a third kickingloop.3,
and so on.
Adding or Removing Song Passages
There are many occasions where you will want to remove an entire passage from an
arrangement—a chorus or verse, which encompasses the regions of all tracks between
bars 16 and 20, for example. All existing regions, bar changes, tempo changes, and
global score symbols (from bar 21 onwards) are moved 4 bars to the left, closing the
gap left by the cut operation.
You can also insert a gap into your arrangement—creating several blank bars, for use
as a middle eight, to create space for another chorus or verse, or perhaps a bridge. As
with cutting time, all existing tempo changes and so on are moved accordingly (to the
right by the number of inserted bars).
You can, of course, simply use the standard Edit menu Cut, Copy, and Paste commands
to remove or re-use a section of your arrangement, such as a chorus, from one location
to another.
You can limit changes to a few selected regions as well. If you choose to do this, rather
than moving all regions within a song section, you need to decide whether or not any
bar changes, tempo changes, and global score symbols should also be shifted. This is
done in the dialog box shown below.
Press Return if you do not want to move tempo changes and global score symbols.
The abovementioned global edit is performed on all regions, when used. These
functions are otherwise restricted to tracks that contain selected regions (or at least
those that fall between the locator points).
