Snap Scale Settings dialog
The Snap Scale Settings dialog appears when you use the Tracks-Snap to
Scale-Scales-Snap Settings command. Use this dialog to choose how
you want SONAR to handle non-scale notes in the Piano Roll view when
Snap to Scale is enabled.
The dialog has the following fields:
• Adjust to Next, Higher Note—if you choose this option, SONAR
moves any non-scale note that you move to the next higher note in
the selected scale.
• Adjust to Previous, Lower Note—if you choose this option, SONAR
moves any non-scale note that you move to the previous, lower
note in the selected scale.
• Adjust to Nearest Note—if you choose this option, SONAR moves
any non-scale note that you move to the note that is closest in pitch
in the selected scale.
Snap to Grid dialog
To open the Snap to Grid dialog box, click the dropdown arrow that is just to
the right of the Snap To Grid button.
This dialog box lets you specify the resolution(s) of the snap to grid feature
that you want events to “snap to.”
The resolution(s) determines how precisely event selections, movements,
and changes to the Now Time can be. For example, when the Snap to Grid
resolution is set to Musical Time with a duration of Whole, a mouse click in
the Time Ruler automatically “snaps” the Now Time to the nearest whole
measure.
The following actions can be affected by the Snap to Grid dialog:
• Selecting the Now Time
• Making a time selection in the Time Ruler
• Dragging and dropping a clip
• Selecting partial clips
