Arranging Clips
Arranging
When you use the Edit-Paste command to add information to a track that
contains existing material, there is one final option you can choose.
Note that if you copy or move clips to new, empty tracks, you don’t have to
worry about these settings. In this case, the track properties that go with the
clips are automatically applied to the new track.
When you use drag-and-drop editing:
• You can set the above options every time you perform an edit, or you
can set them once and have the same settings carry over automatically.
Check or uncheck the Ask This Every Time box in the Drag and Drop
Options dialog to indicate your preference. Open the Drag and Drop
Options dialog by right-clicking in the Clips pane and choosing Drag
and Drop Options from the popup menu.
• If you drag to the edge of the Clips pane, it will scroll automatically in
Replace Old with New Events in the copied or moved clip are placed into
a new clip, and any overlapping events in the
existing clip are erased. This is the same effect as
overwrite recording.
Slide Over to Make Room The existing clips are shifted in time to make room
for the new clips, so they will not overlap. If you
check the Align to Measures option, shifted clips
are always aligned to measure boundaries;
otherwise, the clips are placed end to end.
Option… What it means…
Paste as New Clips New clips are created containing the
events on the clipboard, exactly as
described in the preceding table.
Paste into Existing Clips (MIDI
clips only)
The events on the clipboard are
merged into any existing clips that
occupy the same region of time. This
means you will never end up with clips
that overlap.
