Arranging Clips
The Track view provides many ways for you to rearrange, copy, and paste clips to arrange your
music the way you want. The easiest is to select the clips or portions of clips you want to arrange
and then drag and drop them wherever you want. You can drag and drop clips in the Track view
even while playback is in progress. You can also arrange clips via the clipboard using the Edit >
Cut, Edit > Copy, and Edit > Paste commands, which work like those in almost all Windows
programs.
The snap grid enables you to move clips to or by an exact amount of time, such as a quarter note or
whole measure. See “To Change the Snap Options” on page 317.

Displaying Clips
Clips are displayed as rectangles in the Clips pane. Their position and length show you at a glance
their starting times and lengths. You can control four aspects of their appearance:
• Color. By default, each track’s clips are drawn in a different color. The clip colors restart at the
tenth track. You can customize the default colors of clips in the Configure Colors dialog or
change the color of any individual clip in the Clip Properties dialog.
Note: In audio clips, the waveform changes color, unless no clip contents are displayed. In
MIDI clips, the clip background changes color.
