data, then the yellow “unlocked” lock icon appears on the clip,

meaning that only position is locked.

1. Right-click a clip.

2. From the popup menu, choose one of the following commands:

• Clip Lock-Lock Position—in lock mode, this choice locks position

only, and causes a yellow lock icon with the clasp unlocked to

appear on the clip. If data is already locked, then both position and

data become locked, and a “locked” lock icon appears on the clip.

In unlock mode, if both position and data are locked, and you

unlock position, then the blue “unlocked” lock icon appears on the

clip, meaning that only data is locked.

• Clip Lock-Lock Data—in lock mode, this choice locks data only,

and causes a blue lock icon with the clasp unlocked to appear on

the clip. If position is already locked, then both position and data

become locked, and a “locked” lock icon appears on the clip. In

unlock mode, if both position and data are locked, and you unlock

data, then the yellow “unlocked” lock icon appears on the clip,

meaning that only position is locked.

Note: if a clip’s position is locked, and you change tempo, what happens to

the clip’s position depends on what option the Clip Properties Time Base

field is set to: Musical (M:B:T), or Absolute (SMPTE). If the clip is set to the

Musical time base, the clip’s M:B:T position stays constant, and its Absolute

position shifts. If the clip is set to the Absolute time base, its Absolute

position does not move, but its M:B:T position shifts.

Nudge

Nudging is moving a clip or a MIDI note by a small amount to the left or right

or up and down. There are three customizable settings for the Nudge

feature. You can also nudge clips (in the Track view) or notes (in the Piano

Roll view) up or down, and you can use keyboard shortcuts (see To Nudge

a Clip Using Keyboard Shortcuts).
