Floating views and using dual video monitors

When a view is float enabled, you can move it outside of the confines of SONAR. This is particularly

useful if you take advantage of SONAR’s dual monitor support, which allows you to float most of

your views to a second monitor and increase the number of views that you can have open at one

time.

You can float views in SONAR without having a second monitor. Floating a view allows you to move

it out of SONAR, over the Control Bar and menus, for example, giving you added flexibility when

using SONAR with other applications. All views except the Track view can be floated.

By default, new views are docked in the MultiDock. Any view can be undocked from the MultiDock

and moved anywhere on the desktop. To float a docked view, simply drag the view’s tab out of the

MultiDock.

To float a view

1. Open the view you want to float.

2. Click the view’s icon located in the upper left corner of the view and choose Enable Floating.

A. Piano Roll view icon

3. Move the view wherever you want.
