Editing MIDI Events and Controllers
• If there is no data in the area you want to delete, you can simply drag
any clips that come after the empty area to their proper destinations.
You can also use this method if there is data in the area you want to
delete—you just have to choose whether you want to replace the data
in the deleted area, blend it with the data you’re moving, or slide it over
to make room.
To delete time when there is audio or MIDI data in the area you want to
delete:
1. In the Track view, select the track(s) you want to delete measures or
time from by doing one of the following:
• Select a single track by clicking the track number.
• Select multiple tracks by Ctrl-clicking the track numbers.
2. Set the Snap to Grid value to the unit of time you want to delete. For
example, if you want to delete whole measures, set the Snap to Grid
value to a whole measure.
3. In the Clips pane, select the measures or time you want to delete by
dragging in the Time Ruler located just above the first track.
4. Select Edit-Delete.
The Delete dialog box appears.
5. Click the following checkboxes:
• Events in Tracks
• Delete Hole—if you want the data that comes after the hole to
retain its same placement in a measure, check the Shift by Whole
Measures option.
6. Click any of the other options you want to delete.
7. Click OK.
SONAR deletes the time or measures you selected.
To delete time when there is no audio or MIDI data in the area you want to
delete (or if there is data, but you like to drag and drop):
1. Set the Snap to Grid value to the unit of time you want to delete. For
example, if you want to delete whole measures, set the Snap to Grid
value to a whole measure.
2. In the Track view, select the clips you want to move.
